George A. Watrous, County Superintendent of Poor, died at his home, 6 Walnut street, at 9:25 o'clock last night. Mr. Watrous had been confined at his home for the past six months, suffering from a complication of diseases. Two months ago his condition became critical and he underwent an operation at the City Hospital. Since that time his death had momentarily been expected. Mr. Watrous had served as superintendent of poor for the past five years. He was first elected to the position in 1913 to succeed Winfield S. Stone. The fact that he had failed to resign as a member of the Board of Supervisors before his election, however, resulted in his being disqualified to assume the office, which Mr. Stone continued to hold until the time of his death in 1914. In July of that year, Mr. Watrous, who was then clerk of the Board of Supervisors was chosen by that body as Mr. Stone's successor. He was regularly elected to the office in 1916 and re-elected in 1918 for the term of two years. His term would have expired December 31, 1919. Mr. Watrous first entered county service in 1905 when he was elected as a member of the Board of Supervisors from the town of Colesville [Broome Co., NY]. He was at that time a resident of North Colesville. He served continuously as a member of the board from then until his appointment as superintendent of poor. He was chairman of the board from 1912 until May, 1914, when he was elected as clerk of the board on the death of Asa L. Bonnell. Superintendent Watrous was recognized as an efficient officer and an authority on county government. He was held in the highest esteem by all who knew him. Mr. Watrous was born in the town of Greene, Chenango county, June 16, 1865. His earlier days were spent on his father's farm in that town. He received his schooling in North Colesville and later taught school in that place. On the death of his father he returned to the farm and later purchased a large tract of land immediately adjoining. He leased his farms in 1894 and accepted a position as general manager of the store conducted by the Grange Mercantile Co., at North Colesville. He served in this position up until the time of his election to the Board of Supervisors in 1905. During his service as a supervisor he resided on his farm and served as secretary of the Susquehanna Valley Telephone Co. He resigned this position on becoming superintendent of poor. He later moved to this city and has since resided with his family at 6 Walnut street. Mr. Watrous was a member of the State Association of County Superintendents of the Poor and Poor Law Offices and of several important committees of that Association. He was slated for election as first vice-president of the organization at its last annual meeting at Shelter Island, L.I., in June, but owing to his illness he was unable to be present at the meeting and the plans of his friends to elect him to the office were not carried out. He was also a member of the Afton Lodge, F. and A.M., and the North Colesville Grange, of which he was master for many years before coming to this city. Mr. Watrous was a Republican in politics and was long identified in the council of that party. Besides his wife, he is survived by a daughter, Hazel F. Watrous; a sister, Mrs. Guy Spencer of Coventry, and two brothers, Charles F., of Tunnel, and Watson Watrous of Johnson City.
