He was a member of Freemason Street Baptist Church and one of the oldest members of Washington Lodge of Odd Fellows, Norfolk. He leaves to mourn their loss two daughters and a son, Mrs. H. B. Vaughan, Miss Kate Cannon and Mr. H. L. Cannon, all of Norfolk. The funeral of the late John H. Cannon, who died on Tuesday evening at the residence of his daughter, Mrs. Elizabeth J. Cannon, on Maple Avenue, took place yesterday morning at 11 o'clock from the residence and was conducted by the Rev. W. M. Vines, pastor of the Freemason Street Baptist Church, of Norfolk. The funeral service was largely attended by relatives and friends of the family, and Washington Lodge of Odd Fellows, of Norfolk, of which the deceased was a member, was present in a body. The floral tributes were very beautiful as well as numerous. The remains were laid to rest in Elmwood Cemetery, Norfolk.
