Obituary: The Pulaski Citizen 3 Aug 1899

Born Nov. 20, 1871, married to Dr. W. H. Watson Jan. 2, 1895, died July 27, 1899. Her grandmother was so perfectly devoted to her it does seem that she was the proper one to go to her so soon, but that broken-hearted mother, father, sister, and husband�Can they ever be reconciled? Why she was taken is a mystery. We dare not doubt God�s divine will and appointments, but we could specially pray that grace be given them to say, �Thy will, not mine, be done.� Her husband�s home is broken up and the empty halls of her father�s, without grandmother and Julia are desolate indeed. The merry ring of laughter is hushed�no happy girl to come in and cheer father and mother, for she only saw the bright side of life. Just before she was taken sick, with tears in her eyes, she went to the altar and gave the minister her hand, purporting to lead a new life, and the tear of a repentant sinner never did fall to unbar the beautiful gates of the heavenly city, and while we grieve and miss her, we feel it is better further on, and ask her loved ones to put their trust in Him who will never forsake them. �And with the morn those Angel faces smile, Which we have loved, long since and lost awhile.� A Friend. Mrs. Watson leaves a husband, father, mother, and sister, and a host of friends to mourn her loss. She was laid to rest in the cemetery at Mt. Zion.
