Children

General Notes: Husband - James M. Watt


He was reared at Indiana, Pennsylvania, where he received his education in the schools of that town. In 1865, to fully qualify himself for some business pursuit in life, he entered Duff's Commercial college of Pittsburgh, from which he graduated during that year. From 1865 to 1867 he was a clerk in the drug house of Nesbit & Lewis, of Indiana. In 1867 he went to Pittsburgh, where he served for three years as a prescription clerk in a wholesale and retail drug house. He then removed to Homer City and was engaged in the drug business for seven years. At the end of that time he came (1877) to Indiana, was a clerk for the drug firm of Hetrick Bros. for one year and then entered the Indiana County Deposit bank as teller, which position he held until 1883, when he was made assistant cashier. One year later he was elected cashier.
Mr. Watt was a republican, served one year as burgess of Homer City and was a member and treasurer of the board of trade of Indiana. He was a member of Indiana Lodge, No. 313, F. & A. M., and Indiana Post, No. 28, G. A. R. He was for seven years treasurer of the Indiana Normal school.
He was one of the youthful soldiers of the Civil War. He enlisted when only fourteen years of age as a musician in Co. I, 135th regiment, Pa. Vols., and served nine months. He re-enlisted February 18, 1864, for three years and served in Co. F, 55th regiment, Pa. Vols., until the close of the war, when he was honorably discharged at Fortress Monroe on June 8, 1865.
