Read More	The Osceola Sentinel, Thursday, August 19, 1909 After an illness of but a few days from paralysis, Joseph Watkins, one of the noble pioneers of this county passed away at his home in Osceola Wednesday morning, August 18, aged 82 years, 7 months and 17 days. Funeral services will be held at the ME church at 2:30 today (Thursday), Rev. Davis officiating. Mr. Watkins was born in Guernsey Co., Ohio January 1, 1826. He was married January 1, 1851 to Sarah Jane Dutton in Tuscarawas County, Ohio, and soon after came to Eddyville, from which place they moved to Clarke County in 1857. They resided on a farm until about three years ago, when they moved to Osceola. Mr. Watkins was the father of five children. Three daughters have preceded him in death. Alice Gertrude, Mrs. Anna Twombley, and Hester Harless. Three sons and two daughters, with the aged companion of almost threescore years, mourn his departure. They are William S. of Medicine Lodge, Kansas, Joseph L. of Cleo, Oklahoma, Sarah Twombley of Lacelle, John W. of Weldon, and Mrs. Jennie Tibbetts of Medicine Lodge. All except Mrs. Tibbetts, who is in a hospital will attend the funeral. Mr. Watkins was a man of kindly and lovable character and we often conversed with him on the pioneer times. He had taken the Sentinal since it's first issue over 50 years ago and had always been actively interested in public affairs. While he is gathered as the ripened grain in the fullness of his years, yet one feels a deep sympathy for the lonely widow, who for almost 60 years has been his constant companion and is now left alone. But to her and to the children is left a heritage of noble record of a long life well lived.
