OLDEST RESIDENT OF TWO RIVERS IS DEAD AT AGE 88
Joseph Cayo, pioneer resident of Two Rivers and the oldest living
resident of that city, died at the hospital here where he had been
a patient since January 1, aged 88 years. The body was taken to Two
Rivers and funeral services were held today at St. Luke's church.
Mr. Cayo came to Two Rivers from Canada at the age of 14 years and
was one of the early day log drivers, following this work for forty
years. He helped get the logs down the rivers from the logging camps
conducted by the Two Rivers Mfg. Co., and afterward when the forests
along the river were exhasted he helped raft the logs that were
brought from the north. When the logging operations ceased about
twenty years ago Mr. Cayo did street work for the city for a time
and then retired from work altogether making his home with his
nephew, David Greenwood and family at Two Rivers. He had never
married.

I put him in this cem. because he was buried from a Catholic
church. This is the Catholic cem. The Cayo surname is only in
#89A and #89B.

Joseph Cayo, Who Came Here Away Back in 1847
WAS 88 YEARS OF AGE
Joseph Cayo, pioneer settler of Two Rivers passed away early this
morning at Holy Family Hospital where he had been since January 1.
Deceased was 88 years of age and the oldest living settler in Two
Rivers, if not the county. He came to Two Rivers in 1847 from Canada at
the age of 14 and immediately found employment driving an ox team for
Mr. Lemere. Later he took up work as a log driver on the rivers and in
this work he was employed for over forty years. He helped get the logs
down the river from the logging camps conducted by the Two Rivers
Manufacturing Co., and afterwards when the forest along the rivers were
exhausted he helped raft the logs that were brought from the north. When
the logging operations ceased about twenty years ago, Mr. Cayo did
street work for the city for a time and then retired from work
altogether making his home with his nephew, David Greenwood and family,
1602 East St. He was a bachelor with a cheerful and happy-go-lucky
disposition. The funeral will be Saturday morning from the home of his
nephew, James Greenwood to St. Luke's Church.
