Obituary-Watson.

Mrs. Martha (Livingston) Watson
passed away peacefully, Wednesday
night, May 8, 1905. Her death was
caused by paralysis and was I'M
expected, she being the next youngest
member of her family.
Mrs. Watson had not quite reached
the age of three score years and ten.
She was born in Carnew, Wicklow
County, Ireland, July l, 1887. In this
beautiful homeland she spent the days
of her childhood. AS little girl she
loved to hear her people read the let
tiers that came from her older sisters
in America. They told of the new
home four thousand miles away and of
the broader opportunities offered in
the land so far across the sea. Each
year desire to visit Wisconsin grew
until at last she concluded to come
and spend year with her relatives.
After a short residence here, circum-
stances so changed her plans that she
concluded to remain. Here, in this
community, for we'll nigh forty years.
her quite strong influence has been
felt by all who came to know her.
In 1873 she married Mr.. Thomas
Watson. To them were born a daugh.
ter and son, Martha A. and John G.
Under the loving care of father and
mother these children grew up, and to-
day they mourn the loss of the dear
mother who made that home center
of peace and good cheer. During her
last illness this son and daughter
were untiring in their devotion and
have done all in their power to fill
with comfort and peace the closing
days of their beloved mother.
Her husband passed away nearly ten
years ago. Her brother, Mr.. George
Livingston, and her sister Mrs. Jane
Livingston, of this village, and Mrs.
John Livingston and Mrs. Bessie Dow
ser of Brisbane, Australia, mourn the
loss of this beloved sister. They, and
Mrs. Watson's children, have the deep
est sympathy of this entire COM
munity.
Mrs. Watson was woman of even
temper and cheerful disposition. In
the home, in the church, in the social
circle her quiet influence was felt. In
her Christian home across the sea, she
learned in early childhood to respect
and love the church. During the
greater part of her life she had been a
truly consistent member of the Meth
odist Episcopal church. Many of the
young people of the congregation re-
member with gratitude the uplift and
inspiration given them in her Sabbath
school class. In the years to come
they will not forget the words of in
struction and council which fell from
her lips. To them and all of us there
will long remain memories of her
kindly face, her cheerful smile and her
words of helpfulness and sympathy.
Funeral services were held at the M.
E. church, Livingston, May 6, 1905.
There was large attendance of neigh
bors and friends. Revs. VIM. Shep-
herd and Geo. Brown both paid fitting
tribute to the life and character of the
deceased. The pail bearers we're six
nephews of Mrs. Watson, Pierce Mich
olson, Herbert Livingston, Thomas Be-
han, j. w. Watson. Robert G. Living
ston, and J Wesley Watson. The inter
ment was in the Rock church GENE
