Virginian Pilot January 16, 1908

James P. Furlong, passed away at his residence, 16 Randolph Street, at 6:15 
o'clock yesterday evening, after an illness of one month, in the 53d year of his 
age.
The deceased was born in St. John's, New Brunswick, but came to Norfolk twenty-
eight years ago, where he has since resided and where he was well known and 
highly esteemed for his many excellent traits of character.
He was a charter member of the Cotton Screwmen's Association, of Norfolk, and 
was for years actively identified with its every interest. He was also a member 
of the Norfolk Fire Department and Norfolk Aerie of Eagles. He is survived by a 
widow, one son, three daughters and four sisters. The funeral, for which 
arrangements are being made, will be announced later.

the fire department, a large Maltese Cross from his company and a magnificent
