Virginian Pilot February 25 ,1910     

John O. Gamage died at his home, 202 Bute Street, at 2:30 o'clock yesterday 
morning in the 73d year of his age.
The deceased was a native of Norfolk, where he resided all of his life, and 
where he was widely known and universally esteemed.
When the War Between the States was declared Mr. Gamage entered the Confederate 
Service in the Norfolk Light Artillery Blues, serving with that command 
throughout the war, returning home at the close of hostilities. After the war 
Mr. Gamage engaged in the building supplies business, in which business he 
continued until his death and his name was a household word with the commerce of 
Norfolk. He was a man of unflinching integrity and of upright demeanor in all 
the walks of life.
He was a Methodist in faith and for many years was connected with the Cumberland 
Street Church, this city, in an official capacity. In later years he united with 
Epworth Church, with which he was connected at the time of his demise. Mr. 
Gamage had been in feeble health for some months.
He is survived by a widow, one son, John W. Gamage, two daughters, Misses Nannie 
and Edna Gamage, and two sisters, Mrs. Sue Clark and Miss Carrie E. Gamage, all 
of Norfolk.
The funeral will be solemnized from his late residence at 3:20 o'clock this 
afternoon and will be conducted by Rev. Geo. E. Booker, D.D., of Epworth 
Methodist Church.
