Virginian-Pilot  September 5, 1899
The funeral of Mrs. Gertie Goon, the wife of George Goon, a well-to-do Chinaman, 
occurred Sunday afternoon from her husband’s residence, No. 425 East Main street. 
Rev. Father John Doherty, of St. Mary’s Catholic Church, conducted the obsequies 
and the interment was at St. Mary’s Cemetery.
Mrs. Goon, an American young woman, was only about 17 years old at her death. Her 
husband conducts a restaurant on East Main street, employing white help, and is 
said to be prosperous.
The Chinamen of Norfolk showed their sympathy for their bereaved fellow-
countryman, and their respect for his young American wife by a large and beautiful 
floral offering at the funeral, which was attended by them.

Additional Comments:
From the records of HD Oliver, she was 24.
