1. Mary Glenn Watson was born on 13 Oct 1859 in Ohio; died on 24 Aug 1885 in Hector, Putnam County, Ohio; was buried in Hoy Cemetery, Shunk, Henry County, Ohio. Notes:
Watson. -Mary Watson, wife of Ashley Jackson and eldest daughter of William A. and Eliza J. Watson, died at Hector, Putnam County, O., Aug. 20th 1885, aged 27 years, 10 months and 7 days.
At a very early age she evinced those traits which ripened into a character remarkable for its beauty and perfection. Of her it may truly be said that those who knew her best loved her most. Her influence was always refining, always elevating. Whether at home or in the school room, where she spent so many hours of her life, she was careful to discharge all her duties with conscientious exactness, almost without regard to her own convenience. As a friend she was steadfast and true, and those who were once privileged to enjoy her friendship always retained it.
To her mother, she was not only a loving daughter, but a sympathizing confidant. Her vigilance over the interest of her younger brothers and sister was untiring, and to them in all things, she was a wise and prudent counsellor.
How much she will be missed in the home circle cannot be told. The sweet voice that so often cheered with its triumphant notes is forever stilled on earth, but they are glad to believe that she has joined the angel choirs above in singing the songs of the redeemed.
But to him, whose home she made a Paradise for over two years, has this blow fallen most heavily. How strange the Providence that should thus have made a home desolate and deprived a lovely little babe of a tender mother's care. But we hope the heartstrings so closely intertwined on earth, and so rudely severed, may be reunited in that "Better Country" where there is no more sorrow, nor any dying, where they may dwell together forever in the light and the glory of God. Like the fragrance of some rare and beautiful flower will the memory of Mary and the lesson taught by her noble life remain.
