                               MR. JOHN T. CAPPS    

The announcement of the death of this gentleman at St. Vincent's Hospital at 10 
o'clock Sunday morning will be no great surprise to readers of this paper, who 
will recall that in our issue of that morning it was stated that he was brought 
to that institution from Ocean View Saturday, suffering with strangulated hernia 
and that physicians had pronounced his case hopeless.
Mr. Capps, who was employed at the navy yard, had lived in this city for many 
years and was held in deservedly high esteem. He was a member of Brambleton 
Lodge, No. 56, K. of P., and the Uniformed Rank of that order, and held the 
position of quartermaster on the staff of Colonel George W. Battley, of the 
First Virginia Regiment, U.R.K.P. Orders have been issued by Colonel Battley to 
his regiment, composed of Norfolk, Portsmouth, Suffolk, Hampton and Newport News 
to attend his obsequies which will be held from his late residence, No. 263 
Chapel Street, at 4 o'clock this afternoon.  Brambleton Lodge will also attend 
the funeral.
