Virginian-Pilot  January 26, 1903
Captain James E. Barry, a venerable and most highly esteemed citizen of Norfolk, 
died yesterday morning at 8 o'clock at his home, corner of Mariner and Chapel 
Streets, aged 95 years.  He leaves a widow and two sons, Mr. James E. Barry, Jr., 
and Mr. Thomas M. Barry.  The deceased was a native of Georgia, but had resided in 
Norfolk for eighty-five years.  He was always a public-spirited citizen and took a 
large interest in municipal affairs; was for some time a member of the Council.  
He was quite a wealthy man and was, for many years, in close touch with the 
financial world hereabouts.  Before the civil war, he was captain of the United 
Fire Company and, during the war, he was in the Confederate service as First 
Lieutenant of the United Artillery.  He was conspicuous for his eficiency as a 
soldier and was higly complimented by General McLaws for his service in charge of 
the "Railroad Merrimac" - an iron-clad car on the York River Railroad.  He was a 
most genial gentleman and had very many admirers.  The funeral will take place 
Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock from St. Mary's Catholic Church, of which he was a 
prominent member.
