There are 2 possibilities: Otha V. (1904-1971), son of O. C. "Coney" WATSON & Ione M. FOUNTAIN. Otha married Velma WHITEHEAD (1909-84). OR Otha (b. abt 1902, son of Zack Frederick WATSON & Emma PARKER. Carol> Riley's father was Otha V. Watson Mr. Otha had a brother named O. C. Watson I say his father was O.C. "Coney" Watson It's just my thinking from your info. I knew O. C. and Otha... Otha was my family's neighbor in the 1960s Otha and his second wife Velma are buried in the Summertown Methodist Church Cemetery in Summertown, GA.
