Caton, son of G. W. and Sara Emert Caton, was injured by being thrown from his horse and buggy four weeks ago. He took a sudden turn for the worse Thursday morning and died Thursday night after intense suffering. All that learned physicians and sympathetic friends and relatives could do was done for him but it baffled all human effort. He was buried in the Shiloh Cemetery under the rites of Mountain Star Lodge No. 197, F. and A.M., of which he was an honored member. Rev. A.M. Rose, Rev. J. W. Boling, and E. M. Wynn conducted services at the church. Dr. Caton attended medical college in Nashville and in the Spring of 1887 located at Harrisburg and at once took high rank as a physician and from the beginning commanded a paying practice. After practicing at Harrisburg for some years he moved to Sevierville and formed a partnership with Dr. P.A. Wynn, They enjoyed a good practice and built up a profitable drug store trade. When Dr. Wynn's health failed him he retired from practice and sold his interest in the Drug Store to Caton and Lawson under which name it operated until Dr. Massey formed a partnership with Dr. Caton and purchased an interest in the drug store when the firm name was changed to Caton, Lawson, and Co. Dr. Caton gave his entire attention to the practice of his chosen profession and was ready to administerto the sick and those in distress. He was a member of the M. E. Church and was recognized by all as a Christian gentleman." On Jan.10,1891, he was united in marriage with Mrs. Belle Walker Wynn, widow of John Wynn and had three children: Fred S., Jr. (died young); Emma Irene (died young); and Zula. Zula married West Wynn and had two daughters, Evelyn (died young) and Dorothy. Dorothy married William H. Norton and lives in Knoxville, Tn. [S106] The Mountain Press, 21 Apr 2013.
