William John Watkins was born on 10 June 1887 at Cedar Hill, New Mexico, and died 11 January 1954 at Hobson, Montana.
John (as he was apparently called by family & friends, perhaps due to the fact he shared a first name with his father) was the son of William Henry Watkins (1842-1914) and Rebecca C. Barnes (1861-1910).
Siblings:
1. Mae (1889-1954) She was my husband's grandmother.
2. Cyreena Lorena (1878-1950)
3. Franklin Clyde (1880-1939)
4. Myrtle (1885-1950)
5. Maggie (1891-1904)
6. Susan Graceful (1892-1953)
7. Olive Josephine (1895-1964)
8. Leona Naomi (189-1937)
9. Mattie Johnson (1883-1944)
John's sister, Cyreena, married Thomas Jefferson Atkinson (1861-1918) and both are buried at Belt, MT.
Brother Franklin is buried in Colorado.
Sister Myrtle married Peter Alvin Boyer (1875-1945). They are also buried in Colorado.
John married Dorethea E. Erwin (1890-1967) on 17 December 1912 at Lewiston, Montana. To this union were born 7 children: John Lester, Elizabeth Mae, Julius Henry "Hank", Clinton Joseph, Leroy Hugh, Duane E. and Arthur Frank.
Son Arthur Frank Watkins (1919-1976) is buried at Geraldine, MT next to his wife, Margie Alice Kelly Watkins (1925-2001).
Son Clinton Joseph Watkins (1923-1991), who served with the Marines during WW11, is buried at Rock Springs, WY.
Son Julius Henry "Hank" Watkins (1921-1979) is buried at Stanford, MT. I did locate him on Find A Grave under the name of Henry J. Watkins (buried at Stanford Cemetery). Like his brother, Clinton, Hank also served with the Marines during WW11. Hank married Thelma Ellen Kelly, the sister to his brother Arthur's wife.
Daughter Elizabeth Mae married Charles William Bartley, but I've been unable to locate any further info (including their graves). This is also the case for siblings: Leroy and Duane.
Son John Lester Watkins is buried here at Philbrook Cemetery.
An infant son Robert Erland Watkins, was born/died in 1928.
