The body of James Buchanan Watson was brought here from
Chrisman, Ill., on Wednesday and interred by the side of his
mother, Mrs. Jane Myers, in Maple Ridge Cemetery. Although not
born here Mr. Watson spent his youth and early manhood in
Waveland. His mother was a daughter of John Lough, and they lived
for a number of years in the house now owned by W.R. Kelso. The
old Lough homestead is where Wm. Wiatt now owns. Mr. Watson was
sixty years old. The cause of his death was heart trouble. He had
been a business partner of W.N. Newkirk, at Chrisman, for 17
years. He was also the owner of the Empire Theater at that place,
one of the finest and most successful photo playhouses in
Illinois. - transcribed by kbz
