  • Notes 
    • from "The Napa Journal", 8 Mar 1935 (newspapers.com)
      John C. Watson, 75, widely known resident of Napa junction and former Napa butcher, was instantly killed at 7:30 o'clock last night when he was struck by an automobile driven by Lieutenant Thomas Flynn, U.S.S. Indianapolis, who resides at 56 B street, Vallejo. Riding with Lieutenant Flynn were his wife and Ensign C.T. Doss, also of the U.S.S. Indianapolis. Watson's skull was terribly fractured in the crash, which occurred at the intersection of Napa junction lane and the Napa-Vallejo highway. He is believed to have been confused by the lights of the approaching machine as he was attempting to cross the highway. According to Lieutenant Flynn, Watson first started to run across in front of his machine, then jumped back and then suddenly darted ahead running directly into the side of the car. Coroner Theodore J. Treadway was notified by Traffic Captain James Critchley and Traffic Officer Melvin Critchley of the California Highway Patrol, who investigated, and had remains removed to the Treadway Chapel here, where funeral arrangements were pending late last night. Watson, resident of this County for many years, had been residing on a small ranch at Napa Junction since retiring from the butcher business here some years ago. He is survived by his wife, a sister, Mrs Gertrude Clark, and brothers, G.W. Watson, W.A. Watson and Harry Watson, all of Napa junction, and by one daughter, Mrs. J.C. Dunn of San Francisco.
