Norfolk Virginian September 26, 1878
We are deeply pained to announce this morning the death of Mr. Henry Burgess, 
one of one most worthy and estimable citizens. Mr. B. had been suffering for 
some weeks with a complication of diseases and his death, although sudden, was 
not altogether unexpected. The deceased was a native of North Carolina but had 
been a resident of Norfolk for many years, and, by his upright demeanor, had won 
the esteem and respect of all who knew him. He was an exemplary Christian, 
having been, for more than thirty years, a member of the Cumberland Street 
Baptist Church, filling with great acceptability the office of deacon of his 
church for a period of twenty-five years. He leaves a devoted wife, one daughter 
and two sons to mourn his loss. His bereaved family have our sympathies in this 
their sad affliction. Of Mr. Burgess it may truthfully be said, “Mark the 
perfect man and behold the upright, for the end of that man is peace.” His 
funeral will take place from the Cumberland Street Baptist Church tomorrow 
morning at 11 o’clock.
