Dr. Edward Watson Delcher was born Feb 1863 in Baltimore City, Maryland, USA to Edward Watson Delcher (1825-1893) & Mary Elizabeth Amos.
I found these newspaper articles, seems he was selling butter and cheese illegally through the mail.
$10,000 worth the butter and cheese and another $40,000 not yet sent???? Holy smokes what was he thinking?

He father was a potato hacker, I found this article from 1860.He was a produce dealer for 30 years before getting into real estate.

John the youngest child, in the 1920,1930 & 1940 census was an inmate in the Springfield State Hospital Insane in Freedom,Carroll,Maryland.
