DONOR INFORMATION

The Marie Oliver Watkins Papers were donated to the State Historical Society of Missouri by her sister, Rosalie Prevost Watkins Wilson on March 12, 1964 (SHS Accession No. 260).

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH

Marie Oliver Watkins was born on November 25, 1885, in St. Louis, Missouri, to James Allen Watkins, Sr., and Harriet Rebecca Purkitt Watkins. She was the oldest of four children and a 1910 graduate of Washington University of St. Louis and the St. Louis Library School. She also attended the University of Michigan and Wayne State University and served as a library cataloguer in the Carondelet Branch of the St. Louis Public Library. During World War I Watkins worked with the Ordnance Department in Washington, D. C., and later edited a house publication for an insurance firm. She was a librarian with the Detroit Public Library from 1925 until her retirement in 1950.

The 1928 discovery of five gunnysacks of carefully preserved letters, wills, deeds and other records fueled an interest in family history. She corresponded extensively with family members and traveled to England and all over the United States documenting the Watkins' family genealogy. At the urging of her paternal aunt and namesake, Marie Watkins Oliver, she began compiling, with Helen Hamacher Buchanan Watkins, the historical genealogy of her family. The resulting work, Tearin' Through the Wilderness, Missouri Pioneer Episodes, 1822-1885, was published in 1957. Marie Oliver Watkins died in 1959.
