Peter Watterson, 75 whose death accured suddenly of heart disease in
his home at Dutch Hill on Jan. 29 1933,was the passing away of a high-
ly respected citizen,a kind neighbor and a well known resident of
Clarion cty.The deceased was born and raised in the vicinity of his
late home ,where he spent the greater part of his life.In early life
he followed the occupation of oil driller,but later settled on the
farm,where he resided until his death. He was a man of high ideals, a
kind husband, an indulgent father and a friend of those in need.His
death proved a loss to his many friends and the community where he
lived.

the following; He the immortal hath entered the gate,
An too shall we mortals, or sooner or late,then stand we on Christ;
let us mark Him assend,this is the glory and life without end,
Lord,we commit this our brother to Thee.one body is dead,but whose
spirit is free; we know that through grace,when our life here is done,
we live still live forever in one.
