    The Silent Reaper

    John Watson, brother of Mott Watson, of this city and one of the pioneers of
Jackson County, died at his home near Nashville early on the morning of February
20, 1889, of pneumonia, after a brief illness. Mr. Watson was born at Woodstock,
Madison County, New York, September 18, 1818. March 3, 1845, he married Miss
Emma Viets, of Amboy, Ohio. After 8 years of wedded life in New York, he came to
Iowa in 1853 and settled on the farm where he passed the remainder of his life.
He leaves three sons and a host of warm personal friends to mourn his demise,
for John Watson was one of nature's noblemen. He was always a leader in every
good work in the community where he lived, always had a kind word and when
necessary, something more for his every acquaintance. The funeral occurred
Thursday afternoon from the Nashville church, Rev. Langridge officiating and the
remains were laid to rest in the Buckeye Cemetery.
