Sorry to send this late condolence. Sending sympathies to Eddie's family. I am a niece of Waco Watts. My father is Eugene Watts. My grandfather is Brian Watts, I think his father was named Asa, who's father maybe John Watts. Waco has told me to look into visiting Marshall/Leslie to see the family graveside and see the house Asa built. I hope to one day.

Our Sympathies to Eddie's family. We will dearly miss him at our Watts Reunions. He was such a great part in how we learned about the John Watts Cemetery. During the last several years he has shared stories about himself and his Grandpa , helped in many ways with projects of restoring the cemetery and making it a great place for the Watts family to meet once a year, have dinner on the grounds and learn about our elders. The last reunion we enjoyed him being with us again. We are grateful for all he was, all he did , and what he left us with. May the family have peace and comfort in the days ahead . Love and Prayers from part of your extended Watts family, Marinda and Rick Holliman
