Waltus Jewell Watkins was born in Clay County, Mo., March 5, 1852,
the son of a pioneer Missouri family. He received his education at William
Jewell College at Liberty, Mo., and afterwards attended the Kansas City Dental
College.

He came to Colorado in the early days and practived dentistry in many parts of the state. For many years he was the only dentist to serve the Yampa, Snake River and Ashley Valleys.

He built one of the early buildings on Yampa Avenue in Craig and later replaced it with the brick office building nowowned by F.H. Griffith. He also owned, at one time, a ranch on Morapas.
Until his illness Dr. Watkins was one of Northwestern Colorado's most progressive citizens. His ready good nature and keen wit made him hosts of friends in this section.

Modern Woodsmen. He was buried with Masonic honors in Craig cemetery Monday afternoon.

He is survived by four brothers and two sisters. One brother, John
H. Watkins of Lawson, MO., arrived in Craig Monday morning for the funeral. -The Craig Empire, Craig Colorado.
