Robert J. Watson, oldest son of Dr. James G. Watson, formerly of Bonneauville 
and Fairfield, and more recently of Juniata, died on Sunday, Aug. 12, aged about 
36 years.  He was assistant superintendent of the school of apprentices of the 
Westinghouse Electric Company of East Pittsburgh.  He rose from a humble 
position to this place of trust, involving a great deal of detail and oversight.  
Following the death of his mother, Mr. Watson had a nervous breakdown.  He was 
taken to a sanitarium in New Jersey.  He was thought to be improving but he 
suffered a relapse and died the same night of heart failure.  Rev. Walter E. 
Garrett of New Oxford officiated at his funeral at the home of his father, Dr. 
J. G. Watson, in Juniata.  Interment was at McConnellstown.
