Edsel Ford with His Pet Dog at the Fords' Edison Avenue House, Detroit, Michigan, circa 1908
01
Artifact Overview
Edsel Ford turned 15 years old in November 1908. He was an only child, so Edsel's parents -- Henry and Clara Ford -- made sure that he spent lots of time with his cousins and other extended-family members. When young Edsel wasn't in school, he could be found working at Ford Motor Company's Piquette Avenue plant in Detroit.
