Excerpt from The Record of the Hampden-Sydney Alumni Association, Vol. 12: April, 1938 Judge Watkins was a man of the most winning personality - so mag netic that he drew every one to him with whom he came in contact. He was almost an institution and as much part and parcel_ of the Southside as the very soil itself. He was one of Hampden - Sydney's most distinguished sons and ever devoted to his alma mater. For thirty years he was a member of its Board of Trustees. He sleeps now in his native soil near the place Of his birth in. The county in which almost his entire life was spent. His going leaves a void which can never be filled, but his influence will Carry on, and his memory enshrined in the hearts Of so many will always be to them a treasured heritage.
