Caroline (Carrie) Bustard was first child born to Mary Eliza Daniels and Joseph W. Bustard. Her mother preceded her in death.
Carrie had a beautiful singing voice and was organist for St. Mary's Parish, Totowa, New Jersey. Miss Bustard was a finished musician, who met the numerous requests for her services with a smile, never being known to turn anyone away with a refusal. She loved music and was never happier than when using her talent for others.
The young life of the young woman was ideal-her duties there were well done, the spare hours spent improving her rare talent and she was known to make many sacrifices for her loved ones. Miss Bustard was left without a mother at an early age and her courage for one of her years was marvelous. Taking up the duties of the household the girl gave comfort to her father and kept the little circle together that was far beyond her years.

Mourning Friends Filled Churches. Totowa Residents Turn Out To Honor Memory of Carrie Bustard -- Sorrow Over Loss of Talented Girl -- Funeral of Mrs. Gowen.
Totowa residents turned out in large numbers this morning to honor the memory of Miss Carrie Bustard, daughter of Joseph Bustard, a young woman whom the majority of the residents on the hill had known since her childhood. It was an unusually pronounced expression of sorrow over the loss of a member of St. Mary's Church, whose good works will live after her, for the influence she exerted over others was felt by all who knew the talented girl.
The residence of Miss Bustard at 67 Wayne Avenue was filled at an early hour with relatives and friends and associates, who wanted to view the remains and accompany the family to the church and to the scene of the last resting place. The casket was surrounded by beautiful flowers, the expression of sympathy to the father and relatives of the dead girl. At 8:30 the large gathering proceeded to St. Mary's Church, where a solemn requiem mass was celebrated. The edifice was crowded to the doors and there was sincere mourning over the sad death of Miss Bustard.
The unususal prominence in Catholic church circles of Miss Carrie Bustard, and the fact that her services were at the disposal of every worthy cause, made her a favorite with the people of Totowa district. She was a young woman of pleasing personality and was in close touch with everyone in St. Mary's Church, and her death, therefore, was distinctly a loss to the congregation.
Miss Bustard was a finished musician, who met the numerous requests for her services with a smile, never being known to turn anyone away with a refusal. She loved music and was never happier than using her talent for others.
This was one of the reasons why all connected with St. Mary's Church desired to honor her in the last services over her remains. Father Callan was the celebrant at the solemn requiem mass, and with him were associated Father McKeon as deacon and Father Guterl, of St. Joseph Church, as sub-deacon. To those who took part in the last rites it was evident that Father Callan had a painful duty to perform. The priest, who understood the worth of the young woman and her loss in St. Mary's parish, took occasion to speak of her life, so full of hope and love, and which had been so well spent in the service of her friends and the church. Father Callan referred to the sudden death of Carrie Bustard as a loss, not only to St. Mary's Church, but to the people of Paterson.
The home life of the young woman was ideal -- her duties there were well done, the spare hours spent in improving her rare talent, and she was known to make many sacrifices for her loved ones. Miss Bustard was left without a mother at an early age and her courage for one of her years was marvelous. Taking up the duties of the household the girl gave comfort to her father and kept the little circle together with a wisdom that was far beyond her years.
Miss Carrie Bustard's memory will be kept sacred by the members of St. Mary's Church and many prayers will be said for her. The people realize that she deserved all that Father Callan could say this morning in his eulogy. The music at the services was also of a special nature. Professor Festeneck being assisted by an orchestra and a double quartet in rendering fitting selections at the mass. The singers expressed their appreciation of Miss Bustard's life in a selection written by Father McKeon, in which the high spiritual attainments of the young musician were numbered.
The choir, all of the members personal friends of the girl, was composed of Miss Katie Rooney, Mrs. Stephen A. Wall, Miss May McKelvey, Miss Mary Crowley, John Dunphey, Charles Larson, Dennis Geaghon and Mr. Marshall. The members of the Children of Mary society attended the services in a body.
Honorary pallbearers were young ladies. They were Miss Annie Campbell, Miss Carrie Anderson, Miss May Lennon, Miss Katie Redmon, Miss Sadie Durkin and Miss Annie Quinn, The interment was made in Holy Sepulchre Cemetery in the presence of a throne of friends, under the direction of William Stafford, the undertaker.
