The many friends of Mr. and Mrs. Tom Watson sympathize with them in the death 
of their son, Claud, who died at Camp Gordon Jan. 17*, and was brought to the 
home of his uncle, Mr. P.C. Watson on the early train Friday morning and was 
buried at the Hays cemetery near Pine Level Church Friday afternoon.  He was 
one of the seventeen boys included in the last call from this county that went 
to Camp Gordon the 19th of December.

Claud D. Watson

Citizens of this county were again shocked last week to hear of the death of 
another young man, Mr. Claud D. Watson, who had sacrificed all in answer to the 
call of his country.  Mr. Watson’s death occurred at the base hospital at Camp 
Gordon last Thursday the result of pneumonia.  He was the son of Mr. and Mrs. 
H.T. Watson of Mauk, and was 28 years of age.  

(The rest of the article is to blurred to be transribed. The date of death is 
listed as January 17th, but I believe this is an error since this is the issue 
date of the newspaper.)


Additional Comments:
Note: Claud Watson was the son of Henry Thomas Watson and Elizabeth Bradshaw.  
His paternal grandparents were Perry C. Watson and Martha Hart.  My 
gggrandmother, Mary Elizabeth Watson, was a sister of Claud's father.  I would 
like to correspond with anyone researching this family.
