Mr. Sevier has been in failing health for several years and his death was not unexpected, it was,

1865, Company K, 12th Mississippi Regiment, and his surviving comrades have often referred to his 
loyalty to the lost cause and to the bravery displayed by him in its defense.

The remains were buried at the Tallulah Cemetery Wednesday morning. The services were conducted 
by Rev. Mr. Hillhouse, of Vicksburg, Miss.

Mr. Sevier left one son, Andrew J. Sevier, the present sheriff of Madison parish, and five daughters,
