Clay Street (Note Red Map Tact for exact location).  Prior to Grandma taking us in, she had only her son David and her daughter Annie living at home.</div> <bR> <div> My sister's Ruth Ann and Roberta (Robert's twin sister) moved two hollows over (aproximately 500 yards as the crow flies) to live with my Mom's sister Lyda and her husband James Hughes.  The Hughes lived on Mound Street.</div> <bR> <div> Grandma raised us until she passed away in 1947 at which time Aunt Annie and Uncle Tiber (David Watkins) continued to raise us and we remained at Grandma's home.  We continued to live in Dravosburg until I completed seventh grade of school at which time Aunt Annie, Uncle Tiber, Robert and I moved to a rented home in Liberty Boro, about four miles away on the other side (East) of the Monogahella River and South of the Youghany River.</div> <bR> <div> As you see, by this time Kassie, Helen and Nancy were now on their own and David (Scoogie) was off serving our country during the police action in Korea.</div> <bR> <div> We resided in Liberty Boro. until 1959 after I graduated from McKeesport Vocational High School.  I joined the United States Marine Corps and departed for Marine Corps Recruit Training at Parris Island, South Carolina on 11 August 1959.</div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div>   <a href="http://htmlgear.lycos.com/specs/guest.html" target="_top"><img border="0" ismap src="http://htmlgear.lycos.com/img/guest/gb_peach.gif"></a><br> <a href="http://htmlgear.lycos.com/guest/control.guest?u=duckydav&i=1&a=view" target="_top"><font face="arial,helv,helvetica,sans serif" size="-1">View My Guestbook</font></a><br> <a href="http://htmlgear.lycos.com/guest/control.guest?u=duckydav&i=1&a=sign" target="_top"><font face="arial,helv,helvetica,sans serif" size="-1">Sign My Guestbook</font></a><br>   </div> <bR> <div>   <script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript"> sw="none";sd="none";ref=""+escape(document.referrer); </script> <script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2"> sw=screen.width;nav=navigator.appName; sc=(nav!="Netscape")?screen.colorDepth:screen.pixelDepth; </script> <script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript"> function doit(str) {document.writeln(str);} qs="&sw="+sw+"&sc="+sc+"&ref="+ref; url='http://counter36.bravenet.com/index.php?'; url += 'id=345602&usernum=3032681471&cpv=1'; curl='http://counter36.bravenet.com/counter.php?id=345602&usernum=3032681471'; doit('<a href="'+url+'" target="_top"><img border="0" src="'+curl+qs+'" /></a>') </script> <noscript> <a href="http://counter36.bravenet.com/index.php?id=345602&usernum=3032681471&cpv=1" target="_top"><img src="http://counter36.bravenet.com/counter.php?id=345602&usernum=3032681471" alt="Bravenet.com" border="0" /></a> </noscript>  </div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="index_m.htm" TITLE="The Davis/Watkins Family of Dravosburg, "><U>Return to Top of Page</U></A></div> <bR> <div>  <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="18" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" WIDTH="11">   <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="18" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" WIDTH="11">     <A HREF="id154.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Whats New"><U><IMG SRC="3a112120.gif" border=0 width="18" height="18" ALT="down" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></U></A>  <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="18" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" WIDTH="18"></div> </td> </tr></table></body>
