    Watson funeral is held Monday.
    Services for aged Newell Township woman took place from chapel.
    Funeral services for Mrs. Ann Watson, aged resident of Newell township, who died at noon Saturday at the home of her daughter, nine miles north of Danville, was held at noon Monday from the Union chapel near her old home. Rev. Clay F. Gaumer, pastor of the Christian church at Alvin, was in charge and the interment was at the Johnson cemetery.

    Mrs. Watson had been ill for several months, due to old age and its infirmities and passed away in the same house that she had called her home for more than fifty years. Mrs. Watson was apparently in her usual state of health when she arose Saturday, until a few minutes before noon, when a sudden attack of heart trouble caused her to fall over, death resulting in a few minutes.

    "Grandma" Watson, as she was known all over that community, was a native of Kentucky. She was born in Hardin county, Sept. 9, 1833, the daughter of John R. and Nancy Atkinson Gritton, and came with them to this county in 1841. They settled in the locality north of the city where she had always lived. Sixty years ago she became the wife of Francis Watson, a pioneer's son. The husband died thirty-one years ago and since that time, with the assistance of two of her sons, Mrs. Watson personally managed the farm. She was the mother of seven children, two of them dying in infancy. The surviving children are: Mrs. Nancy DeMoss, Mrs. Sarah Ann Smith, Mrs. Mattie I. Moss and William and John F. Watson.

    Pioneer resident died yesterday.
    Mrs. Ann Watson, resident of Vermilion county since 1841, passed away at her home.
    Mrs. Ann Watson, known to many of her friends and acquaintances as "Grandma" Watson, passed away yesterday morning, April 6, 1918, at 11:10 o'clock. The death of Mrs. Watson who was one of the oldest pioneer residents of Vermilion county, occurred at her home, nine miles north and one-half mile west, of Danville. She passed away in the house in which she had lived for more than a half century.

    While Mrs. Watson had been in ill health for some time, due to the infirmities of old age, her death was unexpected and came with startling suddenness to her relatives and wide circle of friends. She was apparently in her usual health when she arose yesterday morning but was stricken with an attack of heart trouble shortly before 11 o'clock and died within a few minutes.

    Born in Kentucky
    Ann Gritton was a native of Kentucky, and was born in that state on Sept. 9, 1833, the daughter of the later John R. and Nancy Atkinson Gritton, pioneer residents of that state. When only eight years old the deceased came to Vermilion county with her parents, and settled on a farm in the vicinity in which her death occurred. That was in 1841, when Indians roamed the prairies of this state, and Danville was a village of less than 100 inhabitants.

    Ann Gritton was united in Marriage to Francis Watson, a member of a pioneer family, more than sixty years ago, and they went to housekeeping on the farm where the aged woman died yesterday. Seven children were born to Mrs. Watson. Two died in infancy. The surviving children are: Mrs. Nancy DeMoss, Mrs. Sarah Ann Smith, Mrs. Mattie I. Moss, William and John F. Watson.

    The husband died thirty -one years ago, and since his death the widow with the assistance of the sons, had conducted the farm. Mrs. Watson was an estimable woman and was greatly beloved by her neighbors and friends. She had always been active in church work and in sickness or death was among the firs to visit the afflicted home and offer her services.

    Funeral Monday.
    The funeral of the aged woman will be conducted Monday morning at 11 o'clock, old time, the residents of the neighborhood in which she lived having failed to adopt the new time. Rev. Clay F. Gaumer, pastor of the Alvin M.E. church, will have charge of the services, which will be held from the Union Chapel, and the body will be laid to rest in the Johnson cemetery.
