Watts, William H., Buffalo, son of the late Robert Watts, who was well known in detective circles, coming to
Buffalo in the early fifties, was born in Buffalo, January 5, 1860. After obtaining a liberal education from the
public and high schools of his native city, he worked in the mercantile business for a short time, and then obtained
a position in the American Exchange Bank (White's Bank at that time). He was in the employ of the bank for five
years, then left the banking business and returned to the mercantile and insurance business. In 1883 he engaged
in the detective business with his father and Thomas Curtin, and was in their employ until 1891, when he and his
father formed a copartnership under the name of Robert Watts & Co., and Mr. Curtin retired. On the death of
his father he took full charge of the business, and is now conducting the Buffalo Detective Agency, and Police
and Fire Patrol, at Nos. 608 and 610 Eilicott Square.
