Death of Eliza Martha Watterson, nee Martin, 1902, Irwin, Bonneville Co., Idaho

[Peggy13]

Thank you scotmum, for pointing out the birth and death of a George Watterson, parents Leonard Watterson, Jane Ferguson. I do believe it is the same Leonard Watterson, lemonade dealer, but he did not marry Jane Ferguson. Son George died of scarlet fever at age 8 in 1868.
I have not been able to find Leonard's son David born Scotland about 1836 to Leonard Watterson and Jane McLaren/McClernon. He is on the 1841 and 1851 censuses and then disappears. Wonder if he emigrated. I did find William born 1857 who married  Helen Lang in 1881, his parents Leonard Watterson and Jane Beattie. Didn't find baby Joseph born 1859.
Thanks for any help

I have now found the death of William Watterson, in 1887, son of Leonard Watterson and Jane Beattie. William's brother John was present at death. William's wife was Helen Ryan not Lang.

I have now found the death of David Waterson in 1882, single, age 42, son of Leonard Waterson and Jane McLaren, one more son confirming the surname of Leonard’s first wife. Leonard is a lamplighter, same as when Richard died. David was on the 1841 and 1851 censuses.

A bit ago, I found the marriage of James Watterson, son of Leonard Watterson and Jane McLaren to Ann Nelson in 1869. James is a Private 42nd Foot. Then I found the birth of their daughter Helen Elizabeth in 1870 and James has same occupation. In 1871, I find Annie and daughter Helen aka Ellen on the Glasgow census, and she says married but James is not with them. In 1881, Annie is a widow. In 1890, Helen dies and her father James is given as a soldier, deceased. In 1903, Annie dies in Glasgow, and she is the widow of James, Bandsman, 42nd Royal Highlanders. However, I am unable to find the death of James which must be between 1871 and 1881. Any suggestions? Since he was a soldier, might his death be in another country?
Thanks for any help

Earlier in this posting, Isabelle Dotson's death in Los Angeles in 1948 was mentioned. She was the daughter of James Waterson and Matilda Booth. Today I received her obit and I will try to attach it. Names 7 children but they must be from 2 marriages as some are named Rigby.
