"Masonic Rites fo John Vass, G.T. Official"
Rev. A.T. Tomshany Conducts Service to Church; Railway Heads Here

John Vass, mechanical inspector of the Grand Trunk Railways, whose
death occurred Saturday afternoon was laid to rest Monday in Memorial
Park Cemetery, with Masonic rites, following services held in the First
Presbyterian Church, the Rev. A.T. Tomshany officiating.
The church was filled with old associates of the decedent, with
relatives and friends, many men being noticeable among those assembled to
pay their last respects to a noble man. There were quantities of flowers
grouped about the chancel rail and the pulpit, attesting to the high
esteem with which he was held in the community and abroad.
Mrs. Maud Minor, a member of the Presbyterian choir, sang, by
request of Mr. Vass, prior to his passing, the only song in the service.
This was "The Sweet Bye and Bye" and Mrs. Minor played her own
accompaniment.
Mr. Tomshany dwelt on the good character of Mr. Vass, of his
congenial qualities, friendly spirit, gentlemanly demeanor, and faithful
attention to his home, his work and his church.
"He made the journey from Scotland, the land of his birth, to the
United States of America," said the pastor, "hoping to better his
condition and so we can believe that he has gone farther off on a journey
towards the joys of the life eternal, where he will be out from the body
and at home with the Lord."
Reference was made to the fact that Mr. Vass was one of the most
dependable members of the Men's Bible class and that the little
membership button on the lapel of his coat attested to the fact that he
regarded it as a badge of Christian citizenship.
The sermon theme was "Immortality", the idea that death itself is
but a transition opening into a fuller and more glorious life, and in
closing a poem of which the following is an excerpt was quoted:
"Why do we call it dying,
This passing to higher life,
Leaving earth's toil, temptations,
Its tears and its endless strife,
Laying aside all the burdens,
Hushing the heartaches for aye,--
Why do we call it dying,
This beautiful going away?"
At the grave in Memorial Park Cemetery, a brief committal service
was held by the Masonic order, of which he was a member, and the
benediction was given by Mr. Tomshany.
Pallbearers were the four sons-in-law, Messrs. Walton, Wareham,
Wall, and Tevis, and two Grand Trunk men, old friends of the decedent,
B.J. Farr, superintendent of motive power and car equipment, and Al Swan,
locomotive engineer.
Among those present at the funeral were many Grand Trunk officials
both from abroad and at home, the number including T. King,
superintendent of Detroit division at Durand: H.G. Love, shop
superintendent at Port Huron; T.H. Smith, general foreman at Detroit;
George Wyatt, general foreman at Durand; J.W. Carruth, general foreman at
Port Huron; W.C. Brown, general foreman at Chicago; G.A. Briggs,
superintendent of freight claims prevention, Detroit; B.J. Farr, general
superintendent of motive power and car equipment; D.T. Crawford, division
superintendent; J.B. MacGregor, superintendent of railway and telephone
service; S.H. Harris, safety engineer; B.L. Tyler and J.M. Sommers,
trainmasters; H.F. Sullivan, supervisor of tracks; A.E. Hayward,
assistant engineer; George E. Merrick, electrical and mechanical
engineer; M.H. Westbrook, shop superintendent; A.L. Olsen, chief clerk.
Telegrams of condolence were received by the family from W.D. Robb,
vice-president of the Canadian National Railways, Montreal; W.A. Booth,
director of safety, Montreal; Charles McNair, Toronto; Bard Brown, New
York; J. Will Johnson, Chicago, and many others holding executive
positions with the Grand Trunk Western Lines.
John Vass had been connected with the Grand Trunk Railways for 35
years, starting in as fireman, July 21, 1894. The following year he was
promoted to engineer, and to road foreman in August 1903. He was again
promoted to the position of assistant mechanical superintendent of the
North Division at Allandale, Ontario, June 1, 1918, and was transferred
to Western Lines as mechanical inspector, January 13, 1920, the position
he held at the time of his death.
He was born in Carluke, Lanarkshire, Scotland June 20, 1861, and he
leaves two brothers in Scotland; James and Jacob, and a brother, Matthew
Vass, of 65 Caine Street, Battle Creek.
His immediate family consists of the widow and four daughters, Mrs.
Mary Walton, Battle Creek; Mrs. Marguerite Wareham, Detroit; Mrs. James
Wall, Detroit; Mrs. Elizabeth Tevis, New York. There are also two
grandchildren, John Vass Walton, Battle Creek, and Janet Joan Wareham,
Detroit.
The family residence was at 15 Riverview Avenue, this having been
but recently built.

Dear Peggy,
Maybe I'm losing my good memory, but I haven't forgotten your
request. I wrote you a letter also got some information regarding the
Vass family. I just thought of a funny incident about your grandmother's
birthday August 28, 1900. When her birth was imminent I was then 4 years
old and was taken to a friend's house for the day. You likely knew that
your great grandfather owned a 188 acre farm outside of Battle Creek -
where we lived and where your grandmother was born. After her arrival in
this big old world a telephone call was made to the home where I was, to
tell me as well as the others that I had a baby sister. That was
exciting news, but had this woman not tried to be funny and said my new
baby sister was black, everything would have been fine, but she kept
repeating it and thought my insistent declaration of "No, my mama
wouldn't have a black baby!" added to the stamping of small feet funny.
But that attitude didn't last long when she saw me getting ready to go
home. In the end she had to add to the confusion at the farm by having
to have someone drive down to get me and take me home. I was really
tired out when I got home. I always loved that farm. There was a lake
on it and each winter men came and cut the ice and hauled it up to the
ice house on a bobsled with two horses. It was fun to have a ride on a
sled.
I forgot to mention earlier in this that I have a letter written by
my father telling some of the family years ago. It has been so carefully
put away that I haven't been able to find it yet. It's a bit difficult
for me to get around as I'd like, but it's much better "driving" a
wheelchair than a walker. I'm going to keep looking and will get all I
can by way of information for you.
Hope this finds y'all in good health. Trust when I do get that
letter it won't be too late for your use.
As always,
Your great (?) Aunt Beth
