  The Late Jackson Watson.
  
    The funeral services over the remains of the late Jackson Watson, whose 
  death was briefly noted in Tuesday's TRIBUNE, took place in Lock Haven at 2 
  o'clock Wednesday afternoon, conducted by Rev. H. R. Bender, of the Methodist 
  Episcopal church.  The immediate cause of his death was paralysis, the first 
  attack of which occurred about four years ago.  Last Saturday night he had 
  another attack, through which he lingered until Monday morning at 9 o'clock, 
  when his spirit passed into the better country.  He was long a member of the 
  Methodist Episcopal church and was well and favorably known to the members of 
  that denomination during his sojourn in this city by his faithful attendance 
  upon public worship and clear testimony in relating his religious experience.  
  In his last testimony here he declared that his house was in order, awaiting 
  the summons of his Heavenly Father.  He leaves a wife, besides seven 
  children, the latter being Mrs. Fanny Donahay, wife of George B. Donahay, and 
  John M. Watson, of this city; Mrs. Martha Baliett, of Steelton, Tillie J. 
  Watson, of Philadelphia, Mrs. Minnie Pierce and Misses Eliza and Sadie 
  Watson, of Lock Haven, all of whom were present at the funeral.  The deceased 
  was in his 81st year.
