MIL KKNKST M. WATKIXS DEAD.
ecu lulled This Morning After llravc
Fight for Life.
Never before within our recollection
lias the death of a newcomer
caused such universal regret in Lancaster
as has been felt since tidings
came of the passing of Mr. Ernest M.
Watkins at 4 o'clock this morning.
Several of his personal friends and
business associates in Lancaster had
visited him at the Fennell Infirmary
in Rock Hill. Although the serious
noss or his wounds made them very
anxious of the outcome, Mr. Watklns'
hrave fight for life and the calmness
with which lie faced death showed
him to have been a man of unusual
strength and courage. During his
brief residence here lie had commended
himself highly to all who enjoyed
his acquaintance. _yMr.
Wutkins was about thirty-onA
yeurs of age. He was born and reared
in Anderson, attended the public
schools of that city and received his
higher education in ltaleigh at tne
Agricultural and Mechanical College
of North Carolina. Mr. Wat kins was
a lover of clean sports. While u student
at the A. and M. he was a member
of the football team of that institution.
Not only was he a strong
man phyiscally, but his qualifications
of mind and heart were also of the
Highest type. To an admirer of the
brave struggle for life made this
week by Mr. Watkins, a friend who
bad known him since childhood, made
the remark, "Ernest Watkins simply
died as he bad lived?a man." His
business ability was recognized by
those who had had dealings with him
since he had become general superintendent
Of th? 1 ,ano?o#?
V w 1 VUllUII U11
Company and his business acquaintances
held him in the highest esteem.
It is indeed deplorable that
such tragic circumstances cut short
a life of so much promise and there
is general regret in Lancaster at hi*
death and sincere sympathy is felt
for his stricken family.
Mr. Watkins is survived by his
wife, who was a Miss Jow.tt of
Augusta, a son aged seven and a
daughter agtd three, his mother,
Mrs. John Watkins, four brothers,
Messrs. T. Frank, Paul, Harold and
J. C. Watkins, three sisters, Mrs. A.
Carl Lee of Great Falls and Misses
Huth and Helen Watkins of Anderson.
These loved ones had been
summoned yesterday to his bedside,
and accompanied by Messrs. John T.
Stevens and A. G. Ellison, pres.d nt
and manager respectively of the Lancaster
Cotton Oil Company, went
with the remains this morning to
A.-gusta, where the body will be la.d
to rest tomorrow afternoon.
