Notes:
Waterfall, William Booth (1850-1915), manufacturing chemist, was born at Newcastle upon Tyne 18 July 1850, eldest son of William Waterfall (1818-1902) and Sarah Waterfall (born Waterfall, 1824-1891). After education at Wigton School he was apprenticed to Wilson Brothers of Sunderland, ship owners. In 1873, however, an injury necessitated abandonment of a seafaring life and he joined his father in Bristol in the fertiliser business. In 1875 he married Georgiana Robinson (1850-1935), daughter of George Miller Robinson (1840-1906) of Pardshaw and Anna Patience Robinson. There were two sons and three daughters. He became a partner in the Avon Manure Company in 1879 and, on its conversion to a limited company, became managing director, a post he held until his death. He was a member of the executive committeee of the Fertilisers' Trade Association from its inception and was for three years president. He was also an active Friend, serving on the Sidcot School Committee of Management and as clerk of Redland (Bristol) PM. His orinthological and botanical interests were broad, but he was a particular authority on lichens and mosses. He had for some years suffered from pernicious anemia and died at his home, 'Thirlmere', Woodstock Road, Redland, 4 October 1915. Annual Monitos for 1917 (1916), cv.166-71.

Obituary:
William Booth Waterfall of Bristol, eldest son of William and Sarah Waterfall, was born at Newcastle-on-Tyne, July 18th 1850, and passed away on October 4th 1915, after a lingering illness of some three years.
"The boy is father of the man," and William Booth Waterfall as a child and boy showed many of the qualities which as a man so endeared him to others: the wide sympathy which enabled him to enter other people's lives and intrests, the friendliness and joyousness of disposition which drew other people to him, and a never-failing interest in all natural phenomena - a capacity for finding "sermons in stones, books in the running brooks, and good in everything."
Quaker schools are especially happy in preparing for the fuller life that begins when school days end, and at Wigton he was able to develop his love of Natural History, collecting flowering plants on Catlands and birds - nesting on Wedholme Hoe. There he also met his future wife. He was a singularly clever boy, especially in mathematics, and once, at an annual examination, floored a Committee Friend, being supported in his contentions by the superintendant Martin Lidbetter. At the age of 12 he was head of the school, and remained so for three years.
He left school a few days before his fifteenth birthday, and was shortly afterwards apprenticed to Wilson Brothers, shipowners of Sunderland. He remained with that firm eight years, being successively boy, mate and captain. When he was eighteen, and first mate, the captain died at sea, and he brought the ship home from the Horn, being presented by the owners with a valuable watch as a mark of their appreciation. Those years at sea left an indelible impress on his character, fostering and developing his promptness, resourcefulness, and self - dependance, while his sincerity and dislike of mere convention sprang partly from his knowledge of other men and other lands.
In 1873 he broke his kneecap during a storm at sea, which obliged him to give up a seafaring life, and he joined his father, who was in the fertiliser trade, and needed more assistance.
Two years later at Pardshaw Hall Meeting House, he married Georgiana Robinson, daughter of George Miller and Anna Patience Robinson......
In 1879, William Booth Waterfall became junior partner in the Avon Manure Company, and on its conversion into a limited company, he became managing director, which post he held until his death. He devoted a great deal of time and attention to the Fertilisers' Trade Association, being its President for three years and a member of its Executive Committee from the beginning. His sympathy with others and his love of fair play showed itself in his relations with competitors and workmen alike. He was the acknowledged peace - maker and arbitrator of the trade, his known priority, clearsightedness and sense of humor enabling him, in a marked degree to overcome all antagonism, and while other firms were continually faced with strikes, he had no trouble of this kind at all.
His business took up the greater part of his time, but his interests by no means stopped there. He was interested in education and was for some years on the Committee of Sidcot School. He remained all his life devoted to Wigton. Whenever it was possible he went to the annual excursion, and in 1909 gave the presidential address to the Old Scholars Association, an address which has much value for those to whom education appears to be a vital factor in a nation's welfare. He was interested in Meeting affairs, and was the first, and for many years, Clerk of Redland Preparative Meeting. He had the welfare of young Friends much at heart, helping them to organise societies which would lead to the cultivation of hobbies for to him "slackness," whether in work or play hours, was abhorrent. He was always ready to put his business experience at the disposal of the Society, and of the many individuals who so constantly came to him for advice and help. During his later life he devoted much time and interest to Bristol Chamber of Commerce, and was its President, 1913 - 14. But always remained true to his first love - Natural History. He studied it in a great many of its branches - birds, butterflies, moths, beetles, plants. But above all he loved lichens and mosses. On these he was one of the leading British authorities, and because of his intimate knowledge of them, especially those to be found in the County of Cumberland, he was elected member of the Linnaean Society.
But though possessed by great vitality, he was often hampered by illness, and was twice ordered abroad for his health. He was in truth "over - engined," and his many activities of mind and body over - taxed his physical powers and finally brought on the illness - pernicious anaemia - which in spite of gallant efforts, he could not conquror. He was laid to rest next to his father and mother in the quiet burial ground of Lawrence Weston, the coffin being borne by the men of his factory at their special request.

Obituary:
Dorchester Allowed Meeting and Shaftesbury and Sherborne Monthly Meeting have suffered a severe loss in the death of Edith Anna Waterfall on February 21, aged 78.
A birthright Friend, she was educated at Redland High School, Bristol, and later obtained a History Honours degree at Lady Margaret Hall, Oxford, and a teacher's diploma at Bristol University. After teaching and lecturing in history in schools in Manchester and Bristol, and in the Teachers' Training Department of Bristol University, she spent two years of graduate study and research at Columbia University, New York City. From 1923 - 41 she was lecturer in Education at the Darlington Training College, and the Leeds Domestic Science Training College.
In 1941 Edith Waterfall and her lifelong friend Miss E. Newcomb, both retired and came to live in Dorchester. Their home was a haven of rest, peace and love, where many came and found joy, comfort and sympathetic understanding. Her membership was then transferred from Bristol and Frenchay to Shaftesbury and Sherborne Monthly Meeting, and from 1945 until her death, she was an elder. She had a lively concern for the whole Society and brought to the service of Elders all the depth of her experience and wider vision.
During the years of her retirement Edith Waterfall's chief interest centered around the small Meeting in Dorchester, which she brought into being and nurtured by her deep spiritual experience. Her ministry was both of a teaching and prophetic nature.
She worked untiringly for many years receiving, packing and dispatching clothing for refugees; a complete record is not available, but from 1953 - 58, 96 sacks of clothing were sent off by her from her Dorchester home to the Oxford Committee for Famine Relief.
Edith Waterfall loved the birds and the flowers, and all the beauties of nature were a constant joy to her. A walk with her in the country brought a rich experience of God. She had a great capacity for friendship and a fine sensitivity to the needs of other, sharing the joys and sorrows of all with whom she came in touch. She made people feel that they mattered intensely to her, and even in the most casual contact gave herself freely. She seemed to penetrate beneath the human imperfections to the Christ-like qualities within.
