Lucy Elizabeth Dyer (1890-1951)
Lucy Elizabeth Dyer was born in Sarnia, Ontario. She married William Hiram Watson at Point Edward, Ontario. She lived in Chicago and passed away in Ventura, California. Her Canadian roots went back at least 15 years before the first Canada Day (then called Dominion Day) in 1867.
Welcome!
This tree is a frozen snapshot of my Lucy’s tree on Ancestry. All living people are without given names or any information, but you may be able to find yourself. However, I have not tried to capture all the living members, so that many people are not in the tree, in which case you will need to find one of your parents or grandparents.
This version’s snapshot was downloaded from Ancestry 8 Jul 2020 and has 278 people in 88 families and 187 media files.
For those who have an Ancestry account, Lucy is at http://trees.ancestry.com/tree/48755812/person/12928422616 and you can click on that to see her and then navigate to anyone else within the tree.
This tree is NOT my own family (although I would not be surprised to someday find a connection). I created this tree to honor Lucy’s son, Earl Watson, a truly good man who did so very much to help others during his life. He and I grew up -- 20 years apart -- on the same street in Chicago, and our Canadian ancestors lived in some of the same places. So I was glad to be able to expand my research to include Earl's family.

Earl Eugene Watson (1925-2015)
Lucy's son Earl served in the U. S. Army in World War II and was a leading figure in the Fresno Chapter of the Veterans of the Battle of the Bulge, as well as in all veterans' activities in the greater Fresno area. The patch he wears is the Army Service Forces patch. Born in Chicago, he married in Los Angeles and passed away in Fresno, California.
