FUNERAL OF FORMER TOWN BOY

Thomas Bernard Castle, Six-Year Old Son of Army Captain, Buried Here

Thomas Bernard Castle, six-year old son of Capt. and Mrs. Bosier Castle, at one time a resident of Manassas, died last week in Texas, where his father is stationed with the army. His death came as the result of complications which set in after an attack of whooping cough suffered several weeks ago.

When the little fellow's father was serving with the American expeditionary forces overseas during the recent world conflict, Bernard and his mother resided in Manassas, at the home of Mrs. A. A. Maloney.

The deceased's body was brought to Manassas for burial, and was laid to rest Wednesday in the Manassas cemetery, funeral services being conducted by Rev. T. D. D. Clark from the Manassas Baptist Church.  Capt. Castle attended his little son's funeral, but, on account of illnss, Mrs. Castle could not attend.

The pallbearers were Messers. J. B. Leachman, B. H. Lewis, Ashby Lewis, Jr., and John Maloney.
