Horry Herald June 10, 1915
On Monday morning, January 18th, 1915, Mr. H. B. Watts crossed the chilly river
of death to take his place in the realms beyond.  He was born, lived and died in
the dear old county of Horry.  A man of fortitude and patience, a good citizen,
a loving husband, a devoted father, a worthy church member, and a true brother
is gone.  He leaves a loving wife, 5 children, 3 grandchildren and a large

pupils of his school wish to offer a tribute of respect to him.  The following
resolutions were adopted and read by one of the pupils at the close of
commencement:

token of respect to our departed friend, neighbor, and trustee, Mr. H. B. Watts.
 Just a few weeks ago, God called him home from our midst, a plain, cheerful
good natured gentleman.  Truly he was loved by all the school 

In the behalf of the school teacher, and present board of trustees, I offer the
following resolutions: 

Be it Resolved: That by his interest and unbounded capacity, along the line of
school work, and most especially of school work, and most especially interest
always shown by him in preparing for commencement occasions that his death has
