                           MR. WALTER P. BURROW DEAD
               Well Known Citizen Passed Away After Brief Illness

After a brief illness, Mr. Walter Pierce Burrow, one of Norfolk's best known 
citizens, died at his home, No. 279 Freemason Street, yesterday afternoon at 
3:50 o'clock, aged 65 years.
Deceased was taken ill on Wednesday last and though his indisposition was 
serious, it was not thought that it would prove fatal. Mr. Burrow had led a very 
active life, having for the past thirty-five years been chief engineer of the 
Norfolk County ferries, which position he held up to the time of his last 
illness. Prior to his connection with the ferries, he was a chief engineer in 
the navy of the United States.
Mr. Burrow was a brother of the late John W. Burrow, for many years one of 
Norfolk's most prominent merchants. He is survived by a widow and two sons, 
Captain Vincent Collingwood Burrow and Mr. Walter B. Burrow, both of this city.
The funeral will be held privately.
