George W. Watt (1878-1955): lawyer, practiced in New York and Philadelphia; retired in 1920 to Florida and wrote manuscript on Woodrow Wilson.

George William Watt (1878-1955) was a Woodrow Wilson enthusiast who spent many years collecting information about Wilson through reading and correspondence. Watt graduated from Temple University and the University of Pennsylvania. He practiced law in New York and Philadelphia, and he became interested in Wilson through one of his clients in 1902. Having retired to Florida in 1920, Watt thereafter devoted much of his time to work on his Wilson manuscript, which apparently was never published. He moved from Clearwater, Florida, to Hot Springs, Arkansas, a few years before his death, and died in Arkansas on May 28, 1955.
