G.F. WATSON
Arizona, The Youngest State, 1913 pg 649

G.F. Watson, deceased, capably filled the office of County 
Recorder of Pinal County, for three terms, his re-elections 
proving the power and efficacy of his public service. He was 
born in San Joaquin County, California, April 29, 1878, his 
father, Alpha Watson, having been an early settler of that 
state.  After the latter's death in 1882, G.F. Watson and 
his mother and brother came to Arizona, settling in Florence, 
where he made his home until his death in 1913.

Mr. Watson turned his attention to mining and to various 
other pursuits, in Pinal County, gaining success in all of 
the occupations which claimed his interest.  In 1907 he was 
elected County Recorder of Pinal County and his fellow citizens 
demonstrated their complete satisfaction with his official 
work by twice re-electing him to this office.

In 1910 Mr. Watson was united in marriage to Miss Olive m. 
McGugin, a native of Ohio.
