Major Watts Dead.

Major George O. Watts, a gallant Confederate soldier and one of the 
leading men of Rapides parish, died at his home near Alexandria on 
Tuesday night at 8 o'clock, from a stroke of paralysis.

Major Watts was a Westpointer, and a Southern gentleman of the old 
school, genial as sunshine, yet rigorous as a Stoic. He held several 
political positions in his parish, and numbered his friends by the 
score.

The remains were interred in the Catholic Cemetery in Opelousas Thursday 
morning, on the arrival of the morning train, beside those of his 
daughter, Mrs. E. B. Dubuisson. The Masons met the cortege and 
accompanied the corpse to its last resting place.

Additional Comments:
NOTE: Major George O. Watts is buried in section 13 of the Saint Landry 
Catholic Church cemetery located in Opelousas, St. Landry Parish, 
Louisiana.
