Unknown Glasgow KY newspaper.
SERVICE OVER BODY OF MARINE ED WATSON. (extremely faded). Barren County .... 
charge of the funeral and burial arrangements over the body of their comrade, 
Ed Watson, killed in action in France in World War three years ago. The body 
was returned from France last Sunday and the funeral service was most 
impressive.

"The Legion then took charge of the body and escorted it to the cemetery and 
burial as in military fashion.

"Mr. Watson was a son of Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Watson, of this place. He went 
overseas with the Marine Corps, and died following an engagement with the 
Germans.

"He was the first Barren county boy to die for his country in the World War."
