The host of relatives and friends will be grieved to learn of the death of John Cardon, which occurred this morning at 1:10 o’clock at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Charles Drumiller, 507 Washington avenue. The immediate cause of death was a sudden attack of apoplexy.
Mr. Cardon was enjoying fairly good health for a man of his age, and yesterday he felt as well as usual, being around during the day and eating a hearty meal last evening before retiring. Shortly after midnight, members of the family heard sounds of groaning coming from Mr. Cardon’s room. They rushed to the room, but they were too late to be of any service to the dying man. He passed away within a few seconds after their arrival at his bedside.
John Cardon was born in Italy, August 7, 1824, and became a member of the Mormon church before leaving his native land. He came to Ogden in 1854, and resided here the balance of his life. He was identified with the early building of the city and was always known to be a man of the highest integrity and frugality. Mr. Cardon was a builder by trade and he managed the construction of many houses in the northern part of the city.
The deceased is survived by the following children, all of whom are residents of Ogden:
John D. Cardon, Mrs. W. D. Shaw, Mrs Myrtello Shaw, Mrs. Charles Drumiller, Mrs. William Clegg, 22 grandchildren and 7 great grandchildren. He was a member of the high priests’ quorum of the North Weber Stake.
A singular coincidence in the death of Mr. Cardon is that his wife died under similar circumstances and in the same way two years ago.
Funeral services will be held at the Lynn ward meeting house at 2:30 p.m., Sunday, and the body will be buried in the Ogden City cemetery. The remains may be viewed at the residence of Mrs. Drumiller from 10 o’clock to 1:30 on the day of the funeral.
