The funeral of the late Mr. J.J. Samuels, whose sudden demise has been noted 

in these columns, was held from the Sacred Heart Catholic Church at 10 o'clock 

yesterday morning in the presence of a large assemblage of sorrowing friends 
and 

relatives. Norfolk Lodge No. 38, B.P.O.Elks, and the Knights of Columbus, of 

which organizations the deceased was a member, were present in bodies, as was 

also a delegation from the Board of Trade and Business Men's Association, with 

which Mr. Samuels was identified. The services were conducted by Rev. Father 

R.A. Drake, pastor of the church; Rev. Father John J. Doherty, of St. Mary's 

Catholic Church, and Rev. Father Charles Hannigan, of St. Joseph's Church. 

During the obsequies "One Sweetly, Solemn Thought" was touchingly rendered as a 

solo by Mr. John Drew. The handsome casket was covered with the rarest and most 

beautiful flowers borne by six colored men. The interment was in Elmwood 

Cemetery. Following were the pall-bearers: Mayor C. Brooks Johnston, Paymaster 

William W. Galt, U.S.N.; Messrs. H.S. Herman, E.J.R. Wigg, Robert Johnson, D.J. 

Callahan, W.T. Anderson and Colonel Harry Hodges.
