Norfolk Virginian January 5, 1886
Our community was painfully shocked Sunday afternoon at the announcement of the 
death of Captain Thomas Crellin, an old and highly respected citizen. Capt. 
Crellin was stricken with paralysis some time ago, and his death was not 
unexpected. For many years he was engaged in seafaring, but latterly was agent 
for the Underwriters of New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore; Grain inspector 
for Norfolk and Newport News, and a Pilot Commissioner, he was also a member of 
Norfolk Lodge No. 1, A.F. and A.M., and the Masonic Mutual Beneficial 
Association. He was a man greatly beloved by all who knew him, and many flags 
were placed at half-mast in respect to his memory. His funeral took place from 
his late residence, No. 106 Cumberland street, yesterday afternoon at l:30 
o’clock and was largely attended. Rev. J.B. Merritt, chaplain of the Seamen’s 
Bethel, conducted the services, and the pallbearers were: Messrs. D.C. Lassiter 
and John M. Gibbs, of Norfolk Lodge No. 1, A.F. and A.M.; Captain C.F.M. 
Spottswood and Mr. Frank L. Slade, citizens; Captain Wm A. Graves, Sr., Pilot 
Commissioner, and Captain Charles Nelson, Virginia Pilots’ Association.
