  Histories

  WATKINS - Mem'ries of the Second Nine This poem was probably written between 1941 and 1949 because it says that all of the nine children on William White Watkins were dead, and the last of them, Aaron, died in 1941. Moreover, it says "Aunt Emma" was still alive 'to represent them all,' and she was Aaron Sherman Watkins' wife who died in 1950.
