FUNERAL OF JOSEPH A. WALKER
BURIED BENEATH THE COOL SHADES OF METAIRIE
The funeral of Joseph A. Walker, the well-known citizen and proprietor of the St. Vincent Hall, took place yesterday evening at 5 o'clock from his late residence, corner of St. Charles avenue and Second street, and was very largely attended by prominent citizens.
The remains, resting in a handsome casket, were exposed in the elegantly furnished parlor of the palatial residence and were viewed during the day by a large number of friends and acquaintances. As the hour for the funeral approached, many ladies repaired to the house and filled the apartments. There was an imposing gathering about the bier of the regretted dead when Rev. Father Meyers, of St. Alphonsus church, performed the solemn service of the Catholic church. There was no fulsome eulogy of the departed spoken, but the prayer uttered was as eloquent as it was fervent.
The casket was borne to the hearse by Messrs. Albert Baldwin, A. H. Seward, Charles F. Buck, E. J. Demarest, Jules C. Denis, R. M. O'Brien, Page M. Baker and John I. Adams, the active pallbearers. The honorary pallbearers were as follows: Messrs. John Hawkins, W. H. Hyatt, W. B. Schmidt, Fred Wintz, Judge A. L. Tissot, C. W. Bredow, Charles H. Schenck, John W. Fairfax, D. M. Kilpatrick, of the Chamber of Commerce; John C. Bach, of the Crescent Democratic Club; Thomas Sully, of the Southern Yacht Club; F. D. Ruth, of Jacques De Molay Commandary; John A. Peel, of Quitman Lodge No. 76; A. H. De Pass, of Orleans Delta Chapter No. 1; Robert Bleakley, of the Commercial Club; Major Nat Burbank, Thomas L. Ross, Charles A. Orleans, James J. Schmidt, Ernest Pragst, Alden McLellan and Joseph H. De Grange.
Among the most prominent gentlemen in attendance upon the sad occasion were: General A. S. Badger, General W. J. Behan, Captain Wm. Murray, J. W. Coleman, M. Littell, J. D. Rouse, L. C. Will, John Donovan, Henry Gardes, H. Heldenbain, Judge Morris Marks, Maximilian Herrmann, Superintendent of Police D. S. Gaster, H. J. Beverick, J. T. Hoppe, Colonel Charles Hamilton, Captain T. P.
