Winifred Pugh Watkins Obituary*
Winifred Pugh Watkins Obituary Danville Commercial News May 18, 1883
Deaths.
*Watkins - in South Danville, May 11th, 1883, Mrs. Watkins, aged 67.
She was born in England and came to this country years ago, settling in Danville. She was a member of the Congregational church, a very worthy lady, and much esteemed by all who knew her. She raised a family of six children, three boys and three girls, all of whom have grown up, and are good members of society. Her funeral was preached yesterday by Rev. J. A. Griffin, in the church of her choice, in the presence of a large audience of friends and relatives. Her remains were followed by a long procession of carriages to Spring Hill. She leaves a precious memory in a good name, and a life well lived, to her children.
This obituary states she was born in England. However, more research is needed as in Census records she records her birth in Pennsylvania.
