Death of Wesley Proffitt. - After a lingering illness, George Wesley Proffitt 
died at the family home in Faubourg la Pipe at 8:30 o'clock Thursday night, aged 
35 years, 3 months and 14 days. The funeral took place Friday afternoon at 5:30 
o'clock, with services and interment in the Catholic church and cemetery. Mr. 
Proffitt was a young man of agreeable personality and excellent character, and 
had many friends who were deeply grieved to learn of his untimely demise. He was 
employed as a clerk in the local postoffice for a long time, but was compelled 
to relinquish that position several years ago owing to failing health. His wife, 
formerly Miss Cora Smith of Solitude, La., survives him, together with a small 
son, George Wesley Proffitt, Jr. Other members of the bereaved family are his 
mother, Mrs. James H. Proffitt; four sisters, Mrs. Gabe Blanchard, of 
Alexandria, Mrs. J.I. Landaiche, of New Orleans, Miss Frances Proffitt, of 
Cottonport, and Miss Ella Proffitt, and one brother, Hiram Proffitt, of Faubourg 
la Pipe. To these afflicted ones sincere sympathy is extended by the entire 
community.
