Monk, seven miles north of this place, yesterday, 4th instant, after a long and painful illness of liver disease. He leaves a widow and three grown sons. Also died the same day, at his residence in the southwestern part of this county, Perry Watson, of paralysis. He had been a resident of this county since its formation. He leaves a large family. Both these gentlemen were past sixty years of age, and besides their families have a large circle of friends to mourn their decease. Additional Comments: Transcriber's note: I'm not related to the Monk family and do not have further information for them. I found this article while looking for an obituary for Perry Watson, my 3rd great-grandfather.
