George W. Mauzy, a resident of Highland county, but for a number of years living in Pennsylvania, died Sunday Nov 2 at the home of his son-in-law and daughter Mr. & Mrs. Uriah Hevener, at Atglen, Pa., at the age of approximately ninety-five years. He was a son of David L. Mauzy and Mrs. Mary Hammer Mauzy, born and spent the major part of his life in Crabbottom valley but for a number of years had been spending part of his tine in the homes of his daughters in Pennsylvania and Washington, D.C. His wife, the former Miss Emma J. Seiver, died some years ago. Surviving are three daughters, Mrs. Uriah Hevener, and Mrs. Pattie Jackson of Pennsylvania and Mrs. Mollie Myers of Washington, D.C. Mr. Mauzy was the last of the Confederate veterans of Highland county, a member of Company I, 19th Cavalry, and serving during the years 1864-65. The Mauzy family is listed as of French descent in the history of Highland county and this reference to the family is made: “Michael was grandson to the Rev. H. Mauzy, a Huguenot refugee who escaped from France soon after 1685, being concealed in a hogshead in the hold of the ship. He brought away his Bible a silver cup (heirloom) and coat of arms. He married in England and came to Stafford county, Virginia.” The first record of the family in Highland history is of Michael Mauzy, born in 1776, came from Rockingham to Pendleton county in 1842, and through the years they have been outstanding and influential citizens of the county and the family held in high esteem. The deceased was for many years an active and loyal member of the Presbyterian church and funeral services were held from the Crabbottom church Thursday afternoon at one thirty o’clock, conducted by the pastor Rev A.E. Johnson assisted by Rev H.E. Skelton. Interment will take place in he family plot beside his wife and son Glenn Mauzy, in Union Chapel cemetery.
