ELIZABETH WATKINS Mrs. Elizabeth Watkins, daughter of Thomas and Emmaline Clark, was born in Crawford county, Indiana, November 16, 1844. She died at her home in Pleasantville, April 13, 1921, being aged 76 years, 4 months and 27 days. She was one of the family of nine children. In, 1848, she came with the family to Marion county and was a resident of the county during practically the entire remainder of her life. She was married to James M. Watkins on September 10, 1863. To this union three children were born -- Mrs. Flora Shawver and Elva, deceased; and Miss Carrie. The husband died Febary 6, 1907. Mrs. Watkins is survived by one daughter, Carrie; one sister, Mrs. Mary Jones; two brothers Charles Clark and A. D. Clark; six grandchildren; Mrs. Florian Kubli, Mrs. C. L. Gose, Chester Shawver, Cecil Shawver, Mrs. Blaine Core and Mrs. Ward Dyer, and seventeen great-grandchildren. In 1873, the deceased and her husband united with the Primitive Baptist church and transferred their membership in 1801 to the Chursh of Christ at Pleasantville. She was always interested in the welfare of the church and in the work of the Master everywhere and was eager to have a share in the work. During the last two years and eight months she was an invalid and confined to her bed practically the entire period. Evrything possible was done in the time of her suffering to restore health and to ease the pain. Indeed, the fact that Mrs. Watkins lived so long after the injury which made her an invalid, keeping her mind clear and cheerful, was due in a large measure, if not entirely, to the wonderful loving care which her daughter, Carrie, constantly gave her. The bereaved daughter and other relatives have the heartfelt sympathy of the entire community. Funeral services were held at the home Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock, conducted by her pastor, Rev. H. G. Barr, assisted by Rev. E. S. MacCartney. Interment was in the Pleasantville cemetery.
