Biographical Summary

Sergeant First Class Edith Gray Watson (April 13, 1947, March 14, 2001) served in the United States Army and is one of the highest-ranking veterans identified at Snow Hill Cemetery. Her upright government-issued military headstone confirms her rank, branch of service, and eligibility for inclusion in the Snow Hill Veterans Documentation Project.

A secondary ground-level plaque at the base of the headstone reads "Ms. Edith Williams Watson, 1947–2001," confirming an alternate name used in family records. Both markers together provide a complete and verifiable record of identity and service.
