Adah was the daughter of John B. Watson and Alice M. Cole. She never married, but was a dedicated social worker. She began her professional life as a school teacher, but soon opted for a change, and for 40 or more years she worked at the Providence Lying-in Hospital, which was mostly geared toward delivering babies. She retired as the director of social services for the hospital.
She was one of the favorite relatives of this memorialist. Though as a youngster I didn't particularly savor the religious tracts that she sent me, as I grew up and became interested in the family history, I naturally gravitated to Aunt Adah, because she was the know-all and end-all of the Watson history. Her family records played prominently in the Watson family genealogy published in the 1990s.
Aunt Adah was a member of the Seventh Day Adventist Church, and lived at 53 Highland Street in Cranston, Rhode Island. Her mother, Alice (Cole) Watson lived her final years with Adah, as did Ms Lena Robbins.
