William Wyatt Watts spouse, children, and location

Summary of information found on William Wyatt Watts

Found Wyatt Watts in Census records 1900, 1910, 1920, and 1930. Each of these records lists his wife a Roxie E.

Marriage Record:
Found marriage index for William Watts and Roxye Miller in the Indiana Marriage collections on Ancestry.com.

Death of children:
In the 1910 and 1920 they had one son, Elvin. The 1910 census said Roxie had given birth two 2 children and one was living. I searched Find a Grave and found a double headstone with Elvin's name on it (death 1921) and Doris B. Watts (b. 1906, d. 1907).

The census records do not indicate any other children.

Death of Wyatt and Roxie
* Find A Grave has a picture of double headstone for Wyatt and Roxie.
* There is an obituary for Roxie Watts in the Wabash Valley Obituaries. The obit date is Aug 16, 1961. Assume she died one or two days earlier.
* I have a copy of Wyatt's death certificate that I ordered from the Indiana State Archives.
