Old Cambrian Dead 
Altoona, May 25

  George Augustine Watt, an aged and respected citizen of this city, 
died Monday morning from paralysis, superinduced by diseases incident 
to old age.  Two years ago he sustained a fall, the injuries leaving 
him an invalid.  Last Friday, he was stricken with paralysis and sank 
rapidly.
  Mr. Watt was born near Chest Springs, Cambria County, November 23, 
1819, his age at the time of death being past ninety-one years.  He was 
reared and educated in the vicinity of his home and had the distinction 
of having been baptized by Prince Gallitzin at Loretto. He followed the 
occupation of a farmer until about twenty seven years ago when he moved 
his family to this city, since then living a retired life.
