Page 3, column 4
----------
Deceased was one of the old settlers of the county, having celebrated his 84th birthday on the 11th of last April. He was born April 11, 1795, near Cynthiana, Kentucky, first moved to Ohio in 1797, and thence came to Indiana in November, 1846. On the 18th day of September, 1843, he enlisted for the war of that period against the British, but owing to some misunderstanding among the officers, the company disbanded within a month after enlistment. He married [Mary A. Coyle] on the 28th of November 1845[*], and raised several children, from whom have descended thirty-one grandchildren and fifteen great grandchildren. Mr. Watson was a member of the Univeralist church at Waldron, this county. He always proved himself an honest, upright and industrious citizen, and was highly esteemed by his acquaintances. He was a life-long Democrat in politics. His remains were interred on Monday last at the Winchester graveyard, the funeral service being performed by the Rev. Mr. Foster, of Indianapolis. The attendance was very large from all portions of that country, and the regret over the departure of so good a citizen is universal.
