“The marriage of Mr. Thomas J. Watkins and Miss Belle Stewart, a daughter of Levi and Mary (McElfresh) Stewart, took place on Nov. 20, 1872. Mrs. Watkins’ father was a native of Maryland and came to Jefferson County, Iowa, in 1855, locating in Cedar township where he bought a tract of land which he cultivated for many years, retiring at length to Glasgow to a comfortable home which he purchased and in which he resided until his death in January, 1878. Mrs. Stewart, who was a native of Ohio, died on May 11, 1886.”
