Clinton K. Watkins was born December 19, 1861, in Lumpkin County, Ga.; died at Central City, Ky., October 31, 1934. He was married February 22, 1885, to Mary I. Bates. Eleven children were born to this union, three of which died in infancy. He became a Christian forty years ago at Whiteside, Tenn., and later moved to the State of Kentucky in 1905. Surviving are his widow and eight children, twenty-two grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren. Brother Watkins was one of our loyal gospel preachers and a fine singing teacher. The high esteem in which he was held was manifested by the large concourse of people who gathered to pay their last respects to a fallen comrade of the cross. He and I labored together in time past and it will be hard for me to press on without his counsel. T. N. Hancock. - Gospel Advocate, December 27, 1934, page 1255.
