Walnut Valley Times, March 21, 1902 Volume XXXIII #9
Died, March 5th, Mrs. Mary J. Watkins, wife of R. Watkins. Mary J. McCraner was 
born in Knightstown, Indiana, June 7, 1857. At the age of ten years she moved 
with her parents to Iowa, when two years later they moved to Milton township, 
this county where she grew into womanhood and was united in marriage to Richard 
Watkins in 1893. To them have been born a son and two daughters, all of whom 
survive her. In 1877 she united with the Presbyterian church at Stone Chapel 
Midian Township, remaining a member of the same until 1892 when she united with 
the Methodist church at this place, remaining a consistent memer until her 
death. Last June she was stricken with what proved to be her fatal illness. 
Everything that loving hands and medical skill could do was done, but despite 
it all she rapidly failed, until death came as a welcome relief from her 
suffering. She leaves a husband, three grown children, an aged father, two 
brothers and a sister to mourn her untimely death. She was a true mother; a 
faithful wife and a kind and loving neighbor. The funeral was held at the 
Christian church, March 6, by Elder Overman, assisted by Rev. Rose of the M.E. 
Church. Interment in McGill cemetery.
Lily.
