From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
Wingfield W. Watson (April 28, 1828 Ireland – October 29, 1922 in Voree, Wisconsin) was a religious leader in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (Strangite) which was founded by Joseph Smith and succeeded by James Strang. Watson was a church records keeper; some of his works have been compiled, showing the beliefs and actions of Strang followers on Beaver Island in Michigan.
Watson was with Strang when he was assassinated on Beaver Island. The Church of Jesus Christ (Drewite) had been meeting in an old farm house owned by Watson.
