Query whether his name really was Dee Gee Watkins or whether he was Daniel Gunn Watkins, Jr. and called "D. G." There was a Mr. D. G. Watkins who served in World War I, was poisoned by nerve gas (mustard gas), was thereby disabled, and lived on Main Street in Yanceyville in the 1950's with the John Lewis Satterfield, Jr. family. Whether this is the same person has not been confirmed, but it is likely. Note, however, that one source states that Dee Gee Watkins "luckily escaped [World War I] without being wounded or gassed." See: Caswell County in the World War, 1917-1918: Service Records of Caswell County Men, George A. Anderson (1921) at 182.
