"WRITER HAS SPECIAL MEMORIES OF A FRIEND”
by Elwood Pinkerton
On Monday I was up to the Kent Milroy Funeral Home, in Paisley, to pay personal tribute to a very special person - Catherine 'Kit' Watson, who passed away at Bruce Lea Haven, March 28th in her 98th year. She was the widow of the late Marshall Watson of the Eden Grove community.
Surviving are her sons Jack and his wife Florence of Paisley and Bert and his wife Elva of Guelph. In addition there are two grandchildren and two great grandchildren. Her pastor, Rev. Bill McKaig conducted a fitting funeral service and tribute pointing out Kit was almost in reach of the century milepost! She is the last member of the Lamb family, pioneers of the area.
Predeceasing her were; sisters, Susan, Margaret and Elizabeth (her twin) and brothers; Dave, Bill and Jack. In his address Rev. McKaig suggested to the large gathering the problems of rearing twin daughters almost 100 years ago!
'Kit' was an active member of the United Church in Eden Grove and I can recall attending a garden party on the church grounds and sitting beside 'Kit'. She had made a super Angel Cake and made a Daffodil (sponge) Cake to use up the surplus egg yolks. They were A-1.
It was a delight to visit with the grandchildren and their family. The large crowd attending on Monday, at the funeral home, was a worthy tribute to a very special lady from the church and the community. The floral arrangements were colorful and a delight to the eye. Many memorial contributions to the United Church, at Pinkerton were made. This community extends sincere sympathy to the bereaved members of the family.

Catherine married Robert Marshall WATSON, son of Robert Alexander WATSON and Elizabeth DAVISON, on April 7, 1915 in , Bruce Co, Ontario, Canada.¹⁸ Robert was born on April 28, 1890 in Elderslie Twp, Bruce Co, Ontario, Canada, died on December 24, 1970 in Eden Grove, Bruce Co, Ontario, Canada at age 80, and was buried in Douglas Hill Cemetery Eden Grove, Bruce Co, Ontario, Canada.

They were married in the Presbyterian Manse by rev. Thomas Wilson, Walkerton, Bruce Co, Ontario, Canada.

The death on Wednesday of another well known and highly esteemed citizen occurred, of Mr. Marshall Watson at his home in Eden Grove.

After retiring from farming in 1947, he moved to Eden Grove, for more than 30 years he delivered mail from Eden Grove Post Office on a long and sometime difficult route, retiring about 3 years ago, and it goes without saying that his service for the government and post office was most satisfactory.
