The New Daily Pilot  January 23, 1897

The many friends in this city of Mr. Fulton Capps will be deeply pained to 
learn of his death, which occurred at his late residence on Wood street at 
an early hour yesterday morning, after an illness of three weeks' duration, 
in the 74th year of his age.  The deceased had been a resident of Norfolk 
nearly all of his life, and was at one time engaged in active business 
pursuits, but of late years had retired to private life.  He was of 
unflinching integrity of character.  He was a member of Friendship Conclave 
No. 2, Heptasophs or S.W.M., an organization in which he took the deepest 
concern.  He was a member of the Junior Order United American Mechanics.  He 
leaves a widow and children.  His funeral will take place from his late 
residence on Wood street at 3 o'clock Sunday afternoon.

The funeral of the late Mr. Fulton Capps took place from the residence of 
the deceased, corner of Wood and Reilly streets, at 3:30 o'clock Sunday 
afternoon in the presence of a large assemblage of sorrowing friends.  
Friendship Conclave, No. 2, Heptasophs or Seven Wise Men, and a lodge of 
Independent Order of United American Mechanics, of which the deceased in 
life was a member, attended in a body.
The service was conducted by Rev. W.H. Atwill, pastor of Cumberland Street 
Methodist Episcopal Church, assisted by Rev. J.W. Moore, of the Queen Street 
Methodist Episcopal Church.  At the close of the services at the house the 
remains were borne to Elmwood Cemetery, where, with the last sad rights of 
the church and those of the orders, they were committed to mother earth to 
await the resurrection morn.
