San Diego Union,  June 11, 1874
Col. Cave J. Couts of Guajome, in this county, died at the Horton House Shortly 
before twelve o'clock last night. Col. Couts had long suffered from aneurism of 
the aorta and only recently visited San Francisco for medical counsel there. On 
his return to the city, some two weeks ago, he was attacked with a violent 
paroxyum of the disease and has been lying at the point of death ever since. 
Col. Couts came to California as an officer of dragoons in 1849. He had charge 
of the military party which conducted the survey of the boundary line between 
California and Mexico. Resigning from the army he made his home in this county, 
where he has continuously resided since 1849. He married more than twenty years 
ago Theodora, a daughter of Don Juan Bandini, a lady whose nobility of 
character and Christian graces are known throughout this section of the State. 
This devoted wife and eight children now mourn the loss of a kind husband and 
indulgent father.
	Col. Couts was a native of Tennessee. He was a graduate of West Point 
Military Academy and served through the war with Mexico.
