                        Death of a Bright Boy

The news of Master Joseph H. Cayton's death, which occurred yesterday morning at 
3 o'clock, at his home, No. 235 Church Street, cast a gloom over his many 
friends and companions. The cadets of St. Mary's Academy will attend his funeral 
in a body. He was up to Christmas, an active and popular member of the cadets, 
but he had to leave school at the end of the 1895 session on account of his 
health. He was a bright and studious boy, of a quiet and gentle disposition and 
greatly liked by his schoolmates and companions. His funeral will take place 
this afternoon at 3 o'clock.

      The Remains of Joseph Cayton Escorted to Their Last Resting Place

The funeral of Master Joseph J. Cayton took place yesterday afternoon at 3 
o'clock. The scene was very impressive. While the pallbearers, chosen from his 
friends, were bringing the remains from the house, passing in front of the 
Cadets of St. Mary's Academy, who were formed with arms presented, the drum 
corps of that school played that beautiful hymn, "Nearer My God to Thee." At St. 
Mary's Church Rev. Father Doherty read the burial services and delivered a 
touching eulogy on the deceased. The remains were escorted to the cemetery by 
the company of which he was a member and who will greatly miss him from their 
ranks.
