Personal Notes:
There was mention though, of Elizabeth's brother William Frederick Watson who finished his compositor apprenticeship on the Goulburn Herald in January 1855, just a few months prior to his death. Although there were three newspapers during the time James spent in the town, only the file copies of the Goulburn Herald have survived.
After the untimely death of 20-year old William, a very touching and sentimental poem 'A Tribute to Friendship' written by Charles Morgan was published in the Herald. This has been pasted into Elizabeth's autograph album of 1855 along with some pretty pictures and scenic cards.
