The New Daily Pilot Tuesday January 26, 1897

Major David B. Dunbar, the veteran printer of the Norfolk Virginian, had the 
deep misfortune Sunday at 10:10 a.m. to lose by death the company of his 
beloved wife along the remainder of earth's journey.  Mrs. Dunbar was 63 
years of age and had many, many friends.  The major and his wife had passed 
many of life's milestones in company and the loss of his companion will 
prove a severe blow, in the bearing of which he has the sincere sympathy of 
all who know him.  Mrs. Dunbar was for many years a member in good standing 
of the First Presbyterian Church, of this city, and a lady of great worth, 
Christian charity and sweetness of life.  She was a sister of the late 
Messrs. Sol. and Edward Hodges, former well-known printers, at one time 
connected with the Virginian.  The funeral will take place this afternoon at 
2 o'clock from the residence, 223 Charlotte Street.
