The Shippensburg Chronicle, Shippensburg, PA - 9 Mar 1883:
W. M. Watts, Esq., died at his residence near Mechanicsburg last Monday night, in the 74th year of his age. Says the Carlisle Sentinel: Mr. Watts was a son of David Watts, Esq., and was born and reared in this borough. When a young man he studied both law and medicine, and was a member of the bar of Erie county. For many years he resided at Pine Grove Furnace, this county, which place he owned, and he managed the iron business there with great enterprise and success. For about the past fifteen years he has lived at his beautiful homestead "Nantillie" near Mechanicsburg where he entertained his friends with the boundless hospitality for which he has always been noted. He was a man of rare force and vigor of mind and with this he combined a broad philanthropy and great kindness of heart. Probably no more able conversationalist can be found in this section of the state. His mind took a comprehensive grasp of all the great problems of the day, and on these questions he entertained strong convictions. He expounded his views with unusual force and elegance, and his opinions and companionship were much sought.
