Altoona Tribune, August 25, 1910
James H. Watson
As the result of a second stroke of paralysis, James H. Watson, a well known 
yard engineer of this city, died at his home, 1222 Fifteenth Avenue, yesterday 
morning at 11:45 o'clock.  He was stricken for the first time about six weeks 
ago, but had apparently recovered.  Yesterday he was again taken suddenly ill 
and passed away at the hour stated.  Mr. Watson was born in Venango County on 
August 4, 1853, and came to this city thirty-five years ago and entered the 
employ of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company as a brakeman.  Eleven years later 
he was made an engineer, in which capacity he worked ever since.  In 1882 he 
married Mary E. Irwin, of Armstrong County, who survives with the following 
children:  Charles, Harry, Belle, George, Olive, Nellie, all of this city, and 
Mrs. T.B. Barnes, of Fort Wayne, Ind.  One brother, John, of this city, also 
survives. He was an attendant of the First Methodist Episcopal Church of this 
city.  The funeral will be held at the late home on Friday afternoon at 4 
o'clock.  Interment will be made in Rose Hill Cemetery.
