Norfolk Virginian September 14, 1870 and The Norfolk Post  February 17, 1866
From the Norfolk Virginian:

FIREMAN'S FUNERAL - The members of the United Fire Company, Captain Kimberly, were 
out pursuant to a call yesterday afternoon, in order to pay the last sad tribute 
of respect for their departed comrade, Richard U. Carstarphen, whose untimely 
death we have before noticed.  The services were conducted according to the solemn 
ritual of the Catholic church, the Rev. Father Matthew O'Keefe presiding.  The 
remains of the deceased were then conveyed to the Catholic burying ground, outside 
of the city limits, the distance being so great that the firemen, in a body, did 
not proceed to the grounds.

From The Norfolk Post:

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE
THE "WHITE HOUSE" - A delegation of gentlemen from the Colony of Virginia and its 
dependencies - Fortress Monroe, Deep Creek, Peddles Rest, Mobjack Bay and various 
other points, made an official visit to the "White House," on Market Square, last 
evening, and were entertained by the President of the establishment, Mr. Richard 
U. Carstarphen, who bade them welcome to his new establishment - which, he said, 
had been reconstructed upon the soundest principles of political economy and good 
liquors.  Speeches were made by several of the delegates, and there was a very 
pleasant season of conviviality.  Mr. Carstarphen told several of his best 
stories, and some gentlemen of the press sang a couple of songs - one gentleman 
connected with the "Fourth Estate" was particularly happy in singing "Oft In the 
Stilly Night" - which was loudly encored.  After many other pleasing ceremonies,  
the delegation took its departure, expressing themselves highly delighted with 
their reception and treatment at the "White House," which is unquestionably a very 
popular resort for the bibulous politicians of Market Square.  We are not talking 
of the "White House" in Washington.  That's become too common - everybody goes 
there now.  It is the new, neat popular saloon recently opened under this name on 
Market Square by Mr. Richard U. Carstarphen.  It is a recherche resort - a very 
quiet and pleasant place - where Richard is always himself, and conducts his 
business on the advalorem system.
