General Notes: Husband - William Eyster Watters


He began life on the island [Davis' Island? Neville Island?] as a gardener without any capital; by industry and speculation in outside property he finally owned a fine farm of 110 acres. In 1868 the property was divided, his son Will­iam taking his share and beginning for him­self. He also had five lots in Glenfield, some in Emsworth, and fif­teen hundred acres of timber, coal and min­eral land in West Virginia. Mr. Watters enlisted Aug. 3, 1862, in Co. K, 123d P. V. I., Army of the Potomac; he participated in the battles of Bull run, Antietam, Fredericks­burg and Chancellorsville, and was discharged May 13, 1863.
