DEATH OF MRS. J. B. WATSON

After months of decling health, Mrs. J. B. Watson passed away at the family
home in Teague last Thursday evening.

Interment was in the Teague Cemetery the following afternoon in the presents of
an unusual large gathering of friends and relatives from Teague and adjoining
towns. It is with sorrow we chronicle the passing of Mrs. Watson. She was the
daughter of the old south, a woman of rear culture and refinement.

Her father was the late Judge L. D. Bradley. She is survived by her husband,
two sisters and a brother. Mrs. Howell Johnson, Miss Alice Bradley and George
Bradley.

A more extensive notice will appear in a latter issue.

Fairfield Recorder - Friday, September 24, 1926 edition

Mrs. Anna Bradley Watson was born in Fairfield, Freestone County, Texas
Sept. 3rd. A.D. 1865 and died at her home in Teague Texas on the 9th day
of Sept. 1926, being 61 years and 6 days of age.

She and Mr. J. B. Watson were married at Fairfield Texas on the 24th day
of June A.D. 1888. She is survived by her husband, one brother and three
sisters.

She was the daughter of the late L. D. Bradley of Fairfield who for several
years was judge of the old 13th Juridical District composed of the Counties
of Freestone, Limestone and Navarro.

Mrs. Watson, like her father, had opinions and earnestly, yet gently maintained
them when she thought she was right without giving offense. She joined the M.E.
Church south when a young lady, and lived up to the tenets of that church thru
life and was ever ready to do unto others as she would have them do unto her.
As a friend none were truer, as a neighbor none were kinder. Mrs. Watson was
affable and social in disposition, engaging and interesting in conversation and
her visits were always enjoyed by her friends and neighbors.

Her last sickness was lingering and her suffering intense but she bore them
with that Christian fortitude characteristic of him who on the cross quietly
said, It is finished. Our good neighbor is gone from us, but she, her kindness,
her service to others, her pleasant conversation and grand womanhood will be
remembered.

Weave a garland of memories, memories entwined with flowers rare. Place it at
our neighbors grave and bid its perfume linger there.
