------------------------------------------------------------

Obit - Everett Edward Watkins - Whitley Co, KY - 1903 - From records
of Circuit Court Clerk's office - Whitley Co. - 7/9/1903

"Ev" as he was called was an honest, faithful, devoted husband and father.  
Ever watchful of the pleasures, comforts, harmonious environments of his
devoted wife and children, rendering his home in fact, a place of love
and kindness, which he at all times sought and enjoyed.  As a citizen,
he was in all the sense of the term, a patriot.  He loved his home and
fireside.  He loved his neighbors and associates with that candid
fervor  that he never deserted anyone in distress, and at no time,
when his kindly and ever open heart could aid in the alleviation of
the want of his fellow men, he was always found doing more than his
part.  As an officer, Clerk of the Whitley Circuit Court, and
Postmaster at Williamsburg, he performed the duties of the office with
that dignity, integrity, and uniform courtesy to all that merits the
memorium we now present as a testimonial of his true and noble worth,
worth of our emulation and respect and as our tribute to his memory
and our offer of condolence to his loving wife, children and
relatives, we recommend that this memorium be entered at length on the
order book of the Whitley Circuit Court.  That a copy be presented to
his family, and that the same be presented to the press of Whitley
County for publication.  And as a further mark of respect, we
recommend that all of the County Offices be closed on Saturday, July
11th, 1903, and that the Bar and County Officers meet at the Court
House and attend the funeral as a body.  Signed by R S Crawford, K. D.
Perkins and J N Sharp.
