Middle Ga Argus
Alford McKinie Watkins

Mr. Alford McKenie Watkins, one of the pioneer farmers of this section and for 
many years one of the largest land owners in Butts county, died at his home two 
miles from Jackson on Sunday morning from the effects of Paralysis.  Mr. 
Watkins has always been known as a straight forward, upright and strictly 
honest man, and by his close attention to his chosen calling – a tiller of the 
soil – had emassed a considerable fortune.  He released a large number of 
children, the youngest of whom is grown, all of who like their father, are 
industrious upright citizens.  His remains were held away in the family burying 
grounds near his home on yesterday, Rev. J. T. Kimbell conducting the funeral.  
Mr. Watkins, at the time of his death, was in his seventy fourth year.
