Jacqueline Watkins Booth

Jackie Watkins' mother was Beatrice Williams and her mother was Bertha Maples Williams.  I have been adding Grandma Powell's "Sister Bertha's" family to my ancestry tree.  I have found lots of relatives from Sister B.  Beatrice married Jack Watkins.  Her sister Sarah Katherine married John Still and her brother Garrett Burl Williams married Joy N. Shurn.  Joy is still living--90 years young.  Sister Bertha died in 1936.  She is buried by her husband Louis A. Williams in Bartlesville, OK.  I found Bertha O. Williams at find a grave.   I don't know if the Still that Katherine married was related to Tobe or not.
