Death of Gen. O. A. Bullion: The many friends of Gen. Bullion, not only in 
St. Landry, where he resided for a number of years after the war, but 
throughout the State, will learn with sincere regret of his violent taking 
off on the 29th of August last, on his Hope Villa plantation near Baton 
Rouge. He became entangled in the machinery of his gin, and his arm and leg 
were severely lacerated, rendering amputation necessary, but the shock was 
too great for his advanced years, and he died the next morning.

Gen. Bullion was a native of Baton Rouge. He was a valiant Confederate 
soldier, serving during the last days of the Confederacy as courier to Gen. 
John B. Gordon.

He was prominent in public affairs, having represented Ascention (sic) 
parish in the State Legislature at one time and was formerly Major-General 
commanding the Louisiana division U. C. V.

He leaves a widow and several children and other relatives, to whom we 
extend our sincere condolence in their sad bereavement.
