Watts, aged 33, raised in Ellensburg, but until recently employed with the state highway department at Easton, and since then employed as an oiler on the rock crusher of the Powell Construction Co., subcontractors for the runways at the Ellensburg airport, died while being taken to a hospital at noon yesterday and Everett Buckingham, foreman on the work suffered a broken arm, check injuries and possible internal injuries when the front end of an air cooled engine at the rock crusher blew up. Watts was leaning over to fix the clutch, according to other workmen, when the engine blew up and either a fly wheel or a fan tore off the top of his head. Other pieces struck the foreman and he was hospitalized at the Valley General Hospital where his condition was reported as serious. Both men were taken to the hospital but Watts died before reaching there. The Watts family has lived here many years, the father, George Watts, being a blacksmith. Mrs. Gervase Watts and seven-year-old child had not moved back from Easton. There are two brothers, Vincent (Trix) Watt, who is in defense work in Alaska and Francis Watts who is in defense work at Bremerton, and three sisters, Mrs. Albert Lundstrum, Mrs. Ted Kuske and Mrs. Ora DeBolt, all of Ellensburg. The two brothers also have always lived here until they left to take defense jobs. Ellensburg Capital, May 28, 1943, Front Page
