The Norfolk Landmark January 16, 1881

 The funeral services of the late Captain Joseph Mayo took place at the 
Methodist Church Friday afternoon and although the most disagreeable day among 
the many of the present year, there were a considerable number present. Rev. T. 
McN. Simpson, the pastor, officiated, who began the services by announcing the 
352d hymn, by request, which was rendered in a most impressive manner by the 
choir, with Miss Ada Moore presiding at the organ. At the conclusion of the 
second lesson and also by request, the audience sang that touching and pathetic 
hymn, "Nearer, My God to Thee." The reverend gentleman paid a striking and just 
tribute to the deceased. Messrs. Thomas Winingder, James R. Walke, Sr., Savage 
Baker, John F. Dalby, Sewell and John W.H. Wrenn acted as pallbearers. An honest 
man has gone to his reward.
