Mrs. Waters was a secretary before her marriage, and was a writer of many articles under the pen name of “Tiny Mite”. She was also a member of the Poet’s Corner of Indianapolis and had contributed many poems in her life.
Mrs. Waters was a graduate of the Pittsboro High School and a member of the 1902 class that observed their 50th anniversary with all members living recently. She was the second member who has died in the last few months.
