This photo of John Lawson Watts was found in the collection of Marguerite Cook Clark. He matches the young man seen in the photo with his mother and two sisters in my last post, Tutorship of the minor children of James C. Watts and Catharine A. Bryan of Bienville Parish, Louisiana.
John was the fifth child of Edmund B. Watts and Martha Elizabeth Wimberly. He was born on 4 July 1879 and died on 28 May 1917. He married Willie J. Allums, and they had children Henry Edward, Frances Leon, Vera Mae, John L., and Jessie Nell. John is buried in the Wimberly Cemetery.
