Washington County Review
Thursday, December 6, 1906
J.H. Cato, one of the best known citizens of Washington County, living at Farmington, came to Fayetteville Tuesday as was his habit several times each week, and on going to Vaughan’s stable about 3 o’clock in the afternoon to return home, complained of not feeling well and after making the second attempt to get up from his seat, fell over. Dr. Gregg was called at once and Mr. Cato was taken to the Oriental Hotel and although at first he seemed to understand what was said to him he could not speak and soon passed into unconsciousness, dying about 5 o’clock Wednesday morning, surrounded by relatives. His body was taken back to Farmington and laid to rest. Mr. Cato’s general health seemed to be about as usual but a slight impediment of speech had been bothering him for several days.
