Family 2	Herman Watkins
Married	Before November 1957 [10]
	While Wilma died as "Wilma Abhiel," her father's obituary identified her as "Mrs. Herman Watkins" of Phoenix, Arizona. The other two daughters were clearly married to other people, and were listed, as well--so this had to be Wilma. Additionally, Wilma was known to be in Phoenix later, so this is very likely her, though no record has yet been found of the marriage.
