Were Many Mourners
Funeral Services of J. H. Raddon at Kaysville
Body Met at Depot Here by a Large Number of Friends
Kaysville, Feb. 27 -- The people of Kaysville and Layton united today in paying their last respects to the memory of James H. Raddon, who was killed by a Rio Grande Western engine on Saturday. The funeral services were held in the meeting-house here, and the large hall was filled. The services were conducted by Bishop Peter Barton and the speakers were John S. Smith, James Green, Thomas F. Roucche, John R. Barnes and Bishop Barton. The remarks were consoling to the bereaved family, and eugolistic of the deceased, who was referred to as a man of unblemished honor and integrity, a good citizen and a kind and indulgent husband and father.

The floral offerings were numerous and beautiful, completely covering the casket. Many relatives of the family from Salt Lake and elsewhere were present at the services.

A condition that made the occasion doubly sad was the illness of Mrs. Raddon, which is so serious that she was not able to attend the funeral. Before the body left the house this morning she was taken to the room to view her husband's remains, and she has been in a critical condition since.

This afternoon the remains were taken to Salt Lake for interment. The Short Line placed a special car at the disposal of those who accompanied the body to its last resting place. About fifty Kaysville people went to Salt Lake.

The remains were met at the Oregon Short Line depot in this city at 3:30 o'clock by a large number of relatives and friends and taken to the City cemetery for interment. At the grave there were usual simple ceremonies.
