Cator family lore
His father, William Whitfield Cator Sr., notes in a letter to Princeton graduate and alumni organizer Henry Dallas Thompson that his sons, William and Horace (Class of 1917), were enthusiastic participants in Princeton reunions. But Cator Sr. was often too debilitated by rheumatism or swamped with business to attend, although he did attend in 1905 and 1910.
