At the residence of R.T. Tindall on March 4th at the "The Cheviot's,"
Maryville, Missouri, John Tindall Watson, aged seventeen years, only son of
Wm. Watson of Broken Kettle, Plymouth county Iowa. The father of the
deceased came here a year ago in December and was followed last spring by
his son and the two spent the summer and fall in the western part of the
county. In the winter the son went on a visit to his uncle in Missouri and
was joined a month later by his father. While there he contracted a cold
which culminated in lung fever and death. It was the intention of the mother
to come this spring to the home the father and son were founding in the new
world, but the sad death of her only child may deter her from making the
long journey. The young man was popular and well thought of by his
associates and the father has the sympathy of friends in his irrepairable
loss.
