Death of
Mr. George Watkins
George Watkins died
at his home in this place Monday, after an illness of about 10
weeks with tuberculosis.
While working on Trinity
Church last fall, he fell and hurt his shoulder. The bruise did
not cause him any inconvenience at first, but gradually developed
into an abbess.
An operation was performed
and some dead bone removed. This, however, did not relieve him and
developed tuberculosis.
Mr. Watkins came here from
Windham over four years ago and has since been a resident. A
widow, one son and seven daughters are left to mourn their loss.
The funeral will be held
this afternoon at 2 o'clock. Interment in Greenwood Cemetery.
