OBITUARY - Maryborough Chronicle dated 2 March, 1938 MR HUGH McWATTERS Mr Hugh McWatters died suddenly in Sydney early yesterday morning. Mr McWatters, who was the youngest son of the late Mr William McWatters, was born at Dundathu nearly 69 years ago. He joined the staff of the "Chronicle", and with two brothers, the late Mr Andrew McWatters and Mr William McWatters, learnt the trade of compositor. He later became a linotype operator. Leaving the "Chronicle" he opened up a wine saloon and cafe in Kent Street, but after about 20 years, came back to the smell of printer's ink, and following on a few weeks' practice on this journal, joined the staff of the "Cairns Post". He then transferred to Sydney and entered the New South Wales Government Printing Office, where he remained until he retired on account of ill health some years ago. A member of the old Exiles' Cricket Club, Mr McWatters was a polished batsman, and always retained a keen interest in cricket. He is survived by his wife, one son and five daughters. His brother, Mr William McWatters, is the only remaining member of his family.
