"JOHN S. CARRIGER, PROMINENT BUSINESS MAN, DIED MONDAY AFTERNOON; FUNERAL WEDNESDAY
-----
John S. Carriger, 68, died at his home on East Second North street late Monday afternoon following an illness of only a few days. Death came unexpectedly and without much warning, although members of the family knew that he was critically ill, and absent members had been called to his bedside.
The remains were taken to Stetzer's Funeral Home and prepared for burial and were later taken to the home of his late brother, Jas. A. Carriger on East Second North street, where they will repose until the hour of the funeral.
Funeral services will be held from the M. E. Church, South, at two o'clock Wednesday afternoon, conducted by his pastor, Rev. Jas. W. Henley.
Surviving him are his widow, and two sons, John Carriger, Jr., and Thomas Carriger.
Active pall bearers will be R. S. C. Berry, Robert Sawyer, Wilber Webb, Lynn Sheeley, Collin Trombaugh, John E. Helms, Jr., E. A. Peck and George McCanless.
Honorary pall bearers are Dr. D. E. Shields, Dr. C. T. Carroll, D. P. Turner, J. S. Taylor, R. E. Smith, P. M. Bewley, R. L. Woolwine, Jas. Gamble, E. T. Bettis, R. D. Russell, Gus B. Helm, J. N. Fisher, O. R. Carver, A. W. Lotspeich, E. R. Taylor, and members of the Board of Stewards of the M. E. Church, South, J. W. Atchley, Geo. W. Baker, Dr. R. E. Baker, F. E. Bartley, W. D. Carver, R. S. Carroll, T. R. Brooks, C. F. George, Jas. Dosser, T. W. Johnson, Dr. C. C. Lewis, A. M. Moore, R. T. Moore, H. F. Mims, L. S. Noe, L. J. Purkey, C. A. Rogers, R. M. Rogers, J. M. Rector, E. B. Smith, Marion Roberts, H. F. Trobaugh, Ellis Cary, F. H. Taylor, Dr. P. L. Henderson, D. A. Pless, J. D. Kreis, J. W. Bye and H. M. Stetzer.
Flower ladies are Mesdames W. J. Donaldson, Frank Taylor, Jr., W. B. Whittaker, J. G. Graichen, John E. Helms, Jr., F. F. Painter, H. F. Mims, Miss Joe Hook and Miss Lucy Crozier.
Morristown Commandery No. 22, Knights Templar, will furnish an escort for the funeral.
Mr. Carriger was one of Morristown's best known and most popular business men. He was a member of the firm of Carriger & Berry, men's clothiers, which is the oldest business firm of consecutive partnership in the city, having been here for approximately thirty-four years, and in the same location. During his long business career he had become well known, not only to citizens of Morristown but to the entire trade territory.
He had been honored by his city by being elected its mayor and an alderman and was at the time of his death a member of the Water & Light commission, all of which offices he filled efficiently and conscientiously, giving his best to the people. He was active in church affairs, and was never too tired to remain away from his church when services were held there. He took a special interest in the Sunday School and was for years the president of the Wesley-Bible Bible class of men. Each Saturday and early Sunday morning he was busy at the 'phone reminding members of the class 'to be sure and be there on time.'
Next to his church work, interest in the Masonic fraternity held his attention. He belonged to all the Masonic bodies, was active in all, and held offices. His last time down in town was to attend a meeting of the Royal Arch Masons, at which time he was re-elected secretary and treasurer. He could always be depended upon to be at stated meetings.
Likewise, Mr. Carriger took an active interest in the affairs in the city generally. He was a member of the Chamber of Commerce and was always in favor of any movement that meant progress and growth in Morristown. He was an outstanding citizen and his passing will be a distinct loss to this community. Possessed of a genial, happy disposition, he made friends immediately. His long association as a business man in the city made him a familiar figure on the streets and he probably knew as many people as any other business man here.
Morristown has lost a valuable citizen. He will be missed by his family, by his church, by his business associates, by his Masonic lodges, and by his numerous friends."
