Frank Watson was born July 5th, 1885, on his father’s farm near Columbus, Nebraska, where he lived until he was nearly five years old. His parents then moved to Boone county locating on a farm west of Albion, and there he grew to manhood.
He attended the Albion high school one year, and then took a two years at the Grand Island Business College. After he had completed the course there he decided that his health would not permit him to do office work, so he rented a small farm north of town, farming there for three years.
For some time past he has been employed by the Eacker Auto Company. Here he enjoyed his work and the association of the men with whom he was employed. All through his sickness he seemed to feel that he was making the others do too much work because he was not able to do his share. The last day of his illness he mentioned eyeryone there and wondered what they were doing.
He came home when he first felt that he was sick and went to bed. He got up three different times to answer the phone and sat up one while the doctor was there. Thursday night pneumonia set in and Monday evening at 8:30 he breathed his last, just four months and twenty days after his father died.
Frank leaves to mourn, his mother, his sister Bertha and his two brothers Rolla and Fred and their families, together with a host of friends.
The funeral was held from the home Wednesday afternoon. The service was held out of doors, conducted by Rev. B. J. Trickey, and interment was made in Rose Hill cemetery. A military escort was provided by Company A. of the Home Guards of which the deceased was a member.
