Virginian-Pilot, April 2,, 1899
The venerable Mr. Enoch Capps, one of Norfolk's best known and highly esteemed 
citizens, who has resided here for a long period of years, departed this life 
at the Norfolk Protestant Hospital at 8:30 o'clock yesterday morning, in the 
69th year of his age. The deceased had been in delicate health for several 
years, but his fatal illness was only of ten days' duration. Two daughters 
survive him - Miss Annie W. Capps, who is residing at Rome, Italy, and Miss 
Lily M. Capps, who recently returned from that country, and is connected with 
the Hampton Female College.
Mr. Capps was born in Princess Anne County, but came to Norfolk in early 
manhood and has lived here for more than half a century, and for a long time 
was actively engaged in business, but of late years had led a retired life. He 
was a member of St. Paul's Protestant Episcopal Church, having connected 
himself with it in his earlier years. He was also a member of the Knights of 
Honor. The obsequies will be held from the residence of Mr. Robert Johnston, 
No. 3 Beechwood Place, Ghent, at 3 o'clock this afternoon, and will be 
conducted by Rev. B. D. Tucker, rector of St. Paul's.
The following gentlemen, for many years friends of Mr. Capps, will act as
pall-bearers.
Citizens - B. A. Marsden, Fred. Greenwood, Thomas R. Borland, John L. Farant, 
C. J. Creekmur, J. R. Fitchett.
Knights of Honor - H. P. P. Drummond, John T. Hargrove.
