DIED - On Monday night, Oct. 19th, at his residence in McGregor, Wm. Watson, a long-time citizen of this City.

The deceased was a respected acquaintance of ours since 1856, a very industrious man; a kind father to a large family. His age was about 50.

He was born in Devonshire, England, and was 22 years a citizen of the U.S. "Peace to his ashes" and kind attention to his wife and the flock of little ones is our prayer to the JUST ONE!
