Here is another excellent photograph from the Kyle Rosene Collection.

Francis (Edmundson) Watts

• Birth: August 31, 1834.
• Parents: Joseph E. Edmundson and Elizabeth Austin.
  
• Spouse: A man named Watts.
• Death: 1866.
  

Francis was the sister of Emily Dawson Edmundson, Soapy's mother, which makes Francis his aunt. I question the date of death. I obtained my date from Ellen Rafeedie's family tree and I am confused by the note of death on the back writing of the photograph that Francis "Died 70 years ago 1912." I wager that either Emmie Lou or Eva Katherine Smith wrote the message. but was it written in 1912, which would place the date of death for Francis at 1842?

I am asking the family for help on this please.
