Norfolk Landmark, November 30, 1880
Death of Mr. W. T. Fentress.
The sudden demise of this gentleman took place on Sunday morning about 8:30 at 
the boardinghouse of Mr. F. C. Walker, Windsor building. Mr. Fentress was seized 
with a hemorrhage early in the morning but was able to be out of doors later. 
Upon returning to the house and entering the breakfast room, he fell to the 
floor and died shortly after. Dr. John M. Galt, city coroner, held an inquest 
over the remains, the jury rendering a verdict in accordance with the above 
facts. The funeral took place yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock, from the 
boardinghouse, and was attended by the father and other relatives of the 
deceased from Princess Anne county. Mr. Fentress was in the neighborhood of 38 
years of age, and his general manners had made him everywhere popular.

Additional Comments:
While this obituary lists his name as W. T. Fentress, the only death of a Fentress 
in Norfolk that matches these dates, is that of Thomas J. Fentress.
