Hatheway, one of our best known citizens, passed away peacefully and suddenly at his home on Carolina street this morning shortly after 9 o’clock. Mr. Hatheway had been complaining recently of a slight pain in his chest, but did not consider it as serious. He was down town last evening, and retired at the customary hour, feeling apparently as well as usual, although he had neglected during the day to make a promised call on his physician. At 7 o’clock this morning Mrs Hathaway went to his bedroom and found him sleeping quietly. After about 2 hours later she again went to his room and on trying to awake him found this impossible. Dr Anderson was then hastily summoned, and on his arrival he pronounced Mr. Hathaway dead, the deceased evidently having passed away shortly before the second visit of his wife to the room. Mr. Hathaway was a native of Massachusetts, aged 62 years, and came to this coast when about 19 years of age. His first employment was as time keeper for his uncle on Hathaway's wharf in San Francisco. Later he was employed in Marin county, and then at Suscol. In 1871 he came to Vallejo and was given the position of Chief Cerk in the Steam Engineering Department at the Navy Yard, that department then being in charge of his cousin, chief engineer Elbridge Lawton. He held that position until 1888, when he was superseded by William Tormey, but at the end of a year he was given back his old position, which he held until about seven years ago, when he was succeeded by James Brady. Since his retirement from the Navy Yard he has conducted a profitable real estate and insurance business, and was also agent for the Farnham estate.

| 5438 | from "The St Helena Star", 18 Sep 1884 (posted on findagrave.com) The funeral of the late John Watson Sunday was an imposing affair. The remains were conducted from the Odd Fellows Hall to the Presbyterian Church at about 1 o'clock p.m., by the Odd Fellows in regalia. There were nearly sixty members in line. They were attended by as many Masons who abreast and wearing their aprons. The Odd Fellows were under the Marshalship of Mr. Manual Manasse and the Masons of Fred M. Gilea. Upon the part of the Odd Fellows the Messrs. T.M. Moody, E. True, Capt. Knudsen, Lyman Chapman and E. Biggs acted, as pall-bearers and a like duty on the part of the Masons was performed by the Messrs. Beebe Robinson, J.J. Swift, A.J. Hall, F.E. Johnston, E.D. Beard and Chas. Plass. At the Church the Rev. Richard Wylie delivered is very earnest and thoughtful discourse Mrs. Wylie, Miss Kelton and Prof. Mower, with Prof. Keller at the organ, conducted appropriate musical services. The Masons took charge of the casket at the Church and with it were followed to the cemetery by the Odd Fellows and a long cortege. At the grave the beautiful burial service of the Masons was pronounced by W.M., Mr. Wm. T. Johnstone. Rarely, if ever, was this rite more impressively delivered than on this occasion. The deceased was born in Ireland in 1831, and came to this country with his brother "Ring" in 1854, settling in this county on the Soscol ranch where he lived until his last and fatal illness. He pursued the business of farming with success and was one of the substantial and representative citizens of the county. He was an old and esteemed member of the fraternities of Odd Fellows and Masons. He was never married. His death occurred at the home of his brother "Ring," near St. Helena, and was the result of a complication of troubles, predominating among which was yellow jaundice. Besides relatives in this county the deceased leaves a sister in Ireland, and the children of two deceased brothers in Australia. He was a man of many noble qualities. Generous to a fault, honest above the shadow of a suspicion, he made a friend of every acquaintance and won the love of every companion. ? Register | Watson, John (I4470)
