Joseph Thompson, of New York City, is here awaiting the arrival of the remains of his old boyhood friend. Captain Richard Paddock, who died at Tien Tsin, China, and whose remains have long been on the way to this city for interment. Mr. Thompson, who is a lawyjer in New York, is a son of J.

Bureau County Tribune, Volume 29, Number 44, 24 May 1901
The funeral or Capt. Richard Paddock on Monday afternoon, at the residence of his brother-in-law, Dr. McKee, was very largely attended and the wealth of floral display was something a long ways out of the ordinary. The sermon by Rev. J. H. McLaren was not only appropriate but feelingly and fittingly uttered, "How sleep the brave, who sink to rest by all their country's wishes blest. On fame's eternal camping ground their silent tents are spread, and glory guards with ceaseless watch the bivouac of the dead."
