Family members, friends, members of the medical fraternity and well wishers gathered at the Bethesda Methodist Church in Roseau on August 6, 2019 to say final farewell to Dr. Edward Irving Watty who died on July 19, 2019 at the age of 93.
Edward Irving Watty was the third child of Nathaniel E.B. Watty and his wife Margaret. He was born in Marigot and was given the family name Edward. At the time of his birth, Marigot was what might be described as a “cradle community.
According to the eulogy, “it was there he formed friendships that lasted through many life times.” He was awarded the island’s scholarship and went to study medicine at Aberdeen University in Scotland after which he went to the University of Toronto where he specialized in Pathology. In 1955, he married his sweetheart, the former Winifred Paul then a nurse in England, The union produced four children. In 1976, Dr. Watty left Dominica with his family to assume as position as a regional pathologist in Alberta Canada.
“Though in many respects a private person, he was active in the community as required and as he was able,” the eulogy stated. “A senior member of the local Freemason Lodge for many years, a concerned citizen who in the past had been called upon to help mediate civil disputes on occasion required to act as President of the Commonwealth of Dominica in the absence of the incumbent, also a former Ambassador of the Commonwealth to the United States, a visiting lecturer at the Ross University School of Medicine, he wore many hats and assumed many roles.”
As a young doctor, he enjoyed the country clinics especially visiting isolated villages at that time inaccessible by roads and attending to patients who would otherwise have been without recourse to doctor’s attention unless transported by hammock or canoe. Later he returned to England to expand his training in Tropical Medicine and Health a path which might better assist in addressing specific local problems.
In recognition of his service he was awarded the Sisserou Award of Honour (SAH) and the Order of the British Empire (OBE).
Dr, Edward Irving Watty was laid to rest on August 7, 2019 on his private estate.
Simply devil worshippers!!!! The only place prepared for these guys if they do not repent is the lake of fire because they have to stand before the Almighty God and give an account. What does it profits a man to gain the whole world and lose his soul. Serve Jesus Christ today, repent, renounce any sinful thing in your life and ask the holy spirit to come live in you. We are in the last days people.WAKE UP!!!!
I hope you have repented and have turned away from your evil ways.
The bible said Matt.7. [1] Judge not, that ye be not judged. [2] For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. [3] And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
Rest in peace Brother Watty
a secret orginazation of the most powerful and influential elite in the world.They go back for centuries and maintain the same bloodlines.They set up the council on foreign relations,the bilderberg group and the tri-laterial commission.those 3 groups all meet to plan the fate of the world.They consists of international bankers,top government officials,leaders in the energy cartel and media monopoly owners and have control over the U.N. and unesco.their subdivisions reach into everyones daily life without most sheeple even being aware of it. They also have ties to the freemasons,skull and bones, and the knights templar.their ultimate goal is for a one world government which they will control,also a one world currency,and they want control and ownership of all land,property,resources and people.Also they manipulate political parties,and the legal and illigal drug trade and federal agencies
What facts do you have of this or are you just so gullible to read and swallow everything on the net? People are always scared of what they don’t know or don’t understand
Bravo Dominican hero.
Together with McIntyre and Griffin etc from humble beginnings . you established primary healthcare on the island and the clinics you set up saved many childbirth deaths. Time to RIP condolences to the family.
Very instresting aprons, colours, signs/symbols and medals. This young man wearing the freemason square and compass pin on his tie in plain sight, showing his allegianace to the devil people. Some/most of the people in attendance may have no clue whats right infront of them.
With a click of a mouse you can read up on freemasons. Ignorance is a terrible thing. Get yourself informed and stop repeating stories you were told.
To be honest I do feel suspicious about fraternities like that but then the same could be said about the Catholic Church with their regalia and ceremonies. The other thing is that I take a dim view of groups that appear to exclude women from their ranks. Why should there be secret rituals if your aim is to do good. Having said that Dr. Watty was a good man.

Have a look there are Women Freemasons.
Really?… Ignorance is a cancer…The man is dead.. on the way of resting in peace and that’s what you have to comment on… the devil bla bla bla.. What do you know about Freemasons and what they believe? Do your research before you engage… knowledge is more powerful than an atomic bomb..
Ignorance is bliss. In today’s day an age i can’t fathom why people still think masonry is evil. Look to netflix there is a series on Freemasons.. Have a look. Educate yourself!
RIP De. Watty. You were a doctor to all and took care of I and I family fro toddler to late teens. Condolences to your family.
He must have achieved a high ranking in the Freemason society. He was a humanitarian and an example of what the medical profession should be.
Rest well my Great Uncle.
Nuff Dominican man in the Freemason lodge business boy. A lot of the times i does wonder how certain man does be doing it, but now i see. RIP Dr. Watty, i suppose you were in the lodge as well. Hope they didnt have to cut off your tongue before they bury you.
They are wearing their colours signs/smybols means he was part of the brotherhood no doubt.
my grand mothers dad was the grand master 1848 in da. i have pictures.
Maybe he was a good man that was molded to be a great man, a better man and to find purpose in his time on earth. Ignorance is a terrible thing.
A true Dominican patriot and national hero is laid to rest. Country came before politics and political party – he served Dominica and her children. Rest in peace dear comrade, citizen, doctor, friend!
The World has decided that a person who leaves the physical body has gone to a grave to “rest-in-peace”, in a pile of bones as we say that the person has been laid to rest, but what does that mean to the human mind?
According to Billy Graham, and my personal conviction, Dr. Watty has simply made a transition from his physical existence in the body, to exist as a spirit person, in the Spirit World, until Jesus will call everyone to the final judgment.
That is the reason we must be sure to have the Salvation from Him, before we leave the body.
In the Spirit World, people are living just as we do in the physical, I know what I am saying, because I have the personal evidence. Rest in peace has no meaning on the other side of the grave.
The word of God, is the word: Yours and Billy Graham are simply your rhetoric which makes absolutely no sense in comparisons to what thus saith the Lord which is; ” to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.”
And since you like to preach, explain the dead saint which John saw asleep under the Alter in Heaven.
Explain that to me, since Graham can’t, because he already dead and buried!
Explain that to me, since Graham can’t, because of he already dead and buried! Telemaque
Explain what? Your mind is carnal and enmity to God, and so you cannot receive the things of the Spirit as He speaks them through His servants on Earth, for they are foolishness to you.
But I will throw your ………… right back in your face. Here it is: (9) And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held: (10) “And they cried with a loud voice”, saying: How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?
Those verses above are from those whom you claim are dead under the alter. Can a dead person speak?
The things of God from me makes no sense to you for you have no spiritual wisdom to receive them. And you never will, because your mind and heart are ………proud. They are not of God

Listen man telemaque,you respond to everyone’s posting like you are the most intelligent dumbnican alive,typical marigotian,this is why politics in Dominica is, and so backwards,you all people believe that its its only people that been to places of higher learning should run the country, but in fact this is what’s ruining Dominica, egoistic ignorance, wishing you all the best to bring Dominica from the brink that it’s in,common sense Dominicans are watching from afar, looking out for our families who are steal in their.
Condolences to the family and friends. Rest In Peace Sir
Condolences from Marieline and I to Susan and the rest of the family. A gentle giant of a man, soft spoken and epitome of humility even while being so accomplished and distinguished. May he rest in peace!
