The Call, Monday Morning, Sept. 5, 1904, p. 12
Late yesterday afternoon, a train arrived at the Erie depot bearing the remains of Joseph B. Taggart. A hearse and coaches were in waiting and the body was conveyed to the Holy Sepulchre, where interment was made.
The deceased was a member of an old Paterson family, and though he had not resided here for years, was well known in this vicinity. For the past few years he had been a policeman in New York, and at the time of his death was attached to the thirty-third precinct.
Mr. Taggart's death was sudden. On Thursday afternoon last he was in his home, 522 West 158th street, and while removing some letters from his pocket allowed his revolver to drop. It discharged itself and the bullet entered his body, resulting in his death shortly afterwards.
Brief funeral services were held at his late home yesterday afternoon at 1 o'clock and were largely attended. Many beautiful floral tributes accompanied the remains to this city.
The deceased was a son of Joseph B. Taggart and a grandson of Peter R. Taggart. His mother was Miss Sarah Healy, a sister of Robert Healy, the former city clerk.
Peter Taggart in his time was the largest store keeper in the city. He kept a grocery at the corner of Market and Main streets under the firm name of Fonda & Taggart. The partnership was dissolved and later the firm was known as Taggart & Brush.
Joseph R. Taggart, father of the man buried yesterday, at one time was city clerk here. He was engaged in the dry goods business on Main street and for a time prospered. He moved to Little Falls and his death occurred in that village within the last decade. A daughter is the wife of John R. Hurley.
The son left Paterson when a mere child and wandered about the country for a number of years. Finally he located in New York and a few years ago was made a member of the police department. He was a man of fine physical qualities, well developed, and made and excellent officer. He aged about thirty-eight years and is survived by a wife and small family.
