Myrtle Watt, Authority on Medical Stamps
Mrs. Myrtle I. Watt, 63, an emergency room supervisor for Metropolitan General Hospital, who was considered an authority on stamps with a medical theme, died Saturday (July 23, 1977) of an apparent heart attack.
Mrs. Watt, who was active in the American Topical Association, was secretary-treasurer of the Medical Subject Unit and was selected Distringuished Topical Philatelist of 1975, reports Scalpel and Tongs (the association's journal of medical philately).
The honor was given to Mrs. Watt in Lincoln, Neb. in June 1975. For more than 20 years she was co-organizer and secretary of the medical subject unity and had been on the jury at several shows covering all groups and types of topical stamp collectors.
An expert in the fields of Red Cross and nursing, she once wrote a research paper for the government on the history of the Red Cross. She was co-chairman of a 1961 stamp convention.
She helped to start the Junior Topicalist Club and Junior Stamp Club of Johnstown, Pa. She also served as exhibition chairman and officer of the Johnstown Stamp Club.
Mrs. Watt, 5293 Jasmine Circle N, was born in Johnstown, and came here 13 years ago from there.
She was former vice president of the Young Democrat Club of Pennsylvania, and a member of the Licensed Practical Nurse Emergency Room Association, St. Petersburg Stamp Club and a former volunteer with the America Red Cross.
She is survived by here husband Samuel P.; and two brothers, Dr. Richard Ashcom of Dayton, Ohio, and Joseph C. Ashcom of Valdosta, Ga.
Services were held this morning at the Thomas A. Cooksey Funderal Home, Pinellas Park, with bural in Memorial Park Cemetery.
