He commenced work as an apprentice builder with his father and then became a teacher at Maryborough Central State School. He next worked for the Bank of NSW in northern and central Queensland.[1] He was admitted to the Queensland Bar as a solicitor in 1895 and operated his own successful legal practice until his retirement in 1938.[1] In 1905 Watson married Elizabeth Margaret Crowe in Sydney and together had one daughter.[1] He died at Indooroopilly in Brisbane in 1948.[1] His funeral proceeded from the Holy Family Catholic Church, Indooroopilly,[2] to the Toowong Cemetery.[3] Political careerAfter the death of serving member, Francis Kates, in 1903,[1] Watson won the resulting by-election for the seat of Cunningham in the Queensland Legislative Assembly.[4] He held the seat for less than a year, being beaten at the 1904 state election by the Ministerial candidate, Francis Grayson.[5] He stood at the 1920 state election as an independent Country Party candidate for the seat of Stanley but was well beaten by both other candidates.[6] He later joined the Australian Labor Party, and unsuccessfully contested the federal seat of Maranoa at the 1934 federal election.[7] References1. ^1 2 3 4 5 {{cite web|title=Former Members|publisher=Parliament of Queensland|year=2015| url=http://www.parliament.qld.gov.au/members/former/bio?id=686686941|accessdate= 14 March 2016}} {{s-start}}{{s-par|au-qld}}{{s-bef|before= Francis Kates}}{{s-ttl |title= Member for Cunningham|years=1903–1904}}{{s-aft|after=Francis Grayson}}{{s-end}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Watson, Duncan John Reay}}2. ^Funeral Notcies — The Courier-Mail.
