Norfolk Journal and Guide, Nov 7,1942
Norfolk - The funeral of George W. Downes, an employee of Hale and Company, 
and captain of Hale’s yacht, the “Gladys,” was held at Hale’s Chapel, 920 
Wide Street, where the skipper registered as his local residence, Monday, 
November 28.

The Rev. W. L. Hamilton, pastor of Shiloh Baptist Church, officiated.

The deceased, a native of North Carolina, had lived in this city for 35 
years.

He was formerly a hotel waiter, but in later years had come to love his 
employment and association with Hale and Company to such an extent that he 
regarded the company’s establishment as his home.  He leaves a number of 
relatives and friends.  Interment was in Calvary Cemetery.
