Norfolk Virginian April 19, 1876
Obsequies of the Hon. L. H. Chandler
The funeral solemnities of this gentle man took place from his late residence on 
York street yesterday afternoon and were attended by the members of the Bar of 
Norfolk and a large concourse of our citizens. The impressive service of the 
Episcopal Church was read by Rev. Dr. Okeson, followed by an earnest prayer from 
Rev. Dr. Thomas. The corpse was then taken in charge by eight colored men and 
borne to the hearse, attended by the following pallbearers: Judge Geo. Blow, 
Colonel Wm. Lamb, Captain H. B. Nichols, Captain W. E. Taylor, L. Harmanson, 
Charles Sharpe and A. G. Holliday.
The solemn cortege, consisting of a long train of carriages and many citizens on 
foot, proceeded to Elm Wood Cemetery, where, to the solemn rites of the dead, 
the mortal remains of the Hon. L. H. Chandler were committed to the earth to 
await the descent of the judgment angel and the trumpet of God to awake him on 
the resurrection morn.
