Formerly a Resident of Washington, Where His Divorced Wife Lives. Word was received late last night from Chicago of the death in that city yesterday afternoon of Mr. Cole H. Watts, a noted civil engineer, and son of the late Judge Frederick Watts, formerly Commissioner of Agriculture under President Grant. From papers found among his effects it was at first thought that he was a resident of Washington, but inquiry developed that, although a resident of this city for a time, while his father was in office, his home is Carlisle, Pa. He leaves two children and a divorced wife, Mrs. M. G. Watts, of 1016 Fifteenth street. Miss Mary G. Watts, his daughter, is a clerk in the War Department, and his son, Frederick Watts, is at present on an expedition of the Coast and Geodetic Survey at McAlester, Ind. Ter. Mr. Watts was about fifty years of age, and Mrs. Watts has been divorced since 1883. She had not heard of his death when a reporter called last night, and was greatly affected by the news. A telegram was at once sent to his brother, Capt. E. B. Watts, at Carlisle, and he will probably go on to superintend the funeral arrangements. The Washington Post, Monday, February 3, 1896, pg. 3 FELL INTO A BOILING VAT. John H. Hunt Meets a Horrible Fate at the Hydraulic Brick Works. John H. Hunt, a laborer, twenty-three years old, fell into a vat of boiling food at the hydraulic Brick Company’s plant, between Washington and Alexandria, Saturday night, and was so badly injured that he cannot recover. The food given to the live stock there is boiled in vats by a steam process, and Hunt was attending to the cooking. While standing on the edge of a deep vat he lost his balance and fell in. Some moments elapsed before he was rescued, and he was badly burned about the head and chest. He was carried into a house there, and a doctor summoned, who said that he could not recover. Hunt is a brother-in-law of Policeman Wilkinson, of Alexandria. The Washington Post, Monday, February 3, 1896, pg. 7 Death of Edward J. Russell. Edward J.

The funeral will be held Tuesday afternoon at 2:30 o’clock, and the services will be conducted by Meade Post, G. A. R., of which deceased was Adjutant.
