Virginian Pilot June 30, 1905
Washington T. Capps, one of the oldest and best known residents of this section, 
died at his home, Oakland, Lambert's Point, at 11:50 o'clock Wednesday night 
after a lingering illness in the 77th year of his age.  The deceased was a 
former resident of Portsmouth, but moved to the Norfolk section shortly after 
the close of the war between the states.  He was a man of unflinching integrity 
and was held in universal esteem throughout this section.  His vocation was that 
of trucker, from which he acquired a considerable fortune.  He is survived by a 
widow and three children- Admiral W.L. Capps, chief of the bureau of 
construction and repair of the United States Navy; John Talbot Capps, of 
Princess Anne County and Mrs. John D. Couper, of this city, who were with him 
during his last illness.  The funeral and interment will be private.
