An Old Settler Gone.

Mr. John Watkins, Sen., one of the oldest settlers in Mower county, died Sunday morning. Mr. Watkins was 83 years of age and was born in Wales. On his arrival in this country, Mr. Watkins first settled in Wisconsin. From there he came to Minnesota in 1856, since which time he has been a resident of our county. The funeral is held from the Cedar City school house this morning, Rev. Stanley officiating. We will give full particulars of his death next week.
