Martin Watrous 1885 or 1886 Born and Died
2010
There isn’t much to say about little Martin. He was born sometime in 1885 or 1886 according to The Death Book in the sexton’s office in the Mt. Olivet Cemetery in Salt Lake City, Utah. He was buried next to his grandfather Samuel Crawford Pancake and in the company of many others of his extended family who lie in the family plot purchased by Samuel Pancake. His grave remained unmarked until the year 2000 when we found it. Martin’s parents are Henry Reynolds Watrous and Edith Glendora Pancake. He was the youngest child and son of his parents. His oldest brother was Earl, followed by a brother named Wayne who died in Iowa at the age of six months. Next was direct ancestor Everest Elliott Watrous. Only Earl and Everest lived to adulthood and thus have posterity to the present day.
His grave was marked, along with his uncle Marion Darling Pancake and his grandfather Samuel Crawford Pancake by donations from family members. Now, when visitors seek the family plot purchased by Samuel Pancake they will find all graves filled except one and all of the graves marked.
