Norfolk Virginian Tuesday August 11,1896
 

At 3:30 o'clock yesterday morning Mr. James Buchanan, aged eighty-two years, 
died in his chair at his home, No. 34 Talbot street. The funeral will take 
place Wednesday, but no arrangements have yet been made. Mr. Buchanan had been 
a widower for twenty-three years. When his wife died she asked Mrs. Mary 
Naylor, a benevolent old lady living in the same house, to look after his 
wants, and this she had assiduously done. The deceased was a watchman for C.W. 
Pettit. Sunday morning he came home, remarking that he had been obliged to sit 
down several times on the way, took a seat in a rocking chair and remained 
there until he died, passing away at the hour mentioned painlessly and 
peacefully. It was a case of old age and physical exhaustion. He was an old 
soldier, a member of Pickett-Buchanan Camp, C.V. Lafayette Lodge, and 
Jerusalem Camp, I.O.O.F, and of Freemason Street Baptist Church.
