We would only be related by marriage. My grandfather was Bryan Watts. His brother was
Benton Watts who was married to Eva. They had a child, James Milton Watts. Benton died
in 1929 leaving Eva a widow with a child. She married Don Cameron and moved to Flushing,
New York. The child, Jimmie, died in 1935 and is buried in Albion where my grandfather
lived. Jimmie was treated like their own child by my grandfather and his wife, Dorothy.
The picture that I have of Don and Eva was inscribed to my grandfather. I believe he and
Don were friends maybe before he married Eva, but I'm guessing on that. I would be
very happy to send you the picture if you let me know an address. If you should know of
any pictures that exist of Jimmie Watts or his father, I would be very interested in
getting copies of them. As I said, Jimmie died in 1935 which was before I was born
(1944), but we often heard my mother speak of him because her family loved him so much.
