Virginian-Pilot  June 21, 1931
James C. Gordon - Funeral services for James C. Gordon, Norfolk man and formerly 
active in local political activities, who died Friday at a local hospital, were 
conducted yesterday morning at the Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church by the Rev. 
Leo J. Ryan, with Monsignor Thomas E. Waters, the Rev. J. A. Taylor and the Rev. 
E. L. Stephens present in the sanctuary of the church.
Pallbearers were Dr. A. A. Marsteller, J. E. Neikirk, Jesse Parris, Julian K. 
Pattus, George E. Holmes, John J. O’Keefe, Thomas B. Hatton, and Thomas J. 
Shannon. The funeral was attended by delegations from the Holy Name Society of the 
Blessed Sacrament Church, the Knights of Columbus, and the B. P. O. E. The casket 
was covered with Easter lilies and ferns, and there were many floral tributes.
When the mass was concluded, Father Ryan paid tribute to Mr. Gordon’s loyalty to 
his friends and to his church. Mrs. Frank MacLaughlin sang, “Face to Face,” 
accompanied by Mrs. C. R. Davies at the organ.
