Virginian-Pilot January 1, 1905
A few minutes after he had completed his day’s work for the year at the machine 
shops of the Norfolk and Western railway at Lambert's Point, Charles Gordon, 35 
years old, yesterday afternoon was suddenly and unexpectedly stricken with 
hemorrhage of the lungs, and died, a stranger in a strange land. Today, while 
all of Norfolk is rejoicing in the birth of a glorious new year, the earthly 
remains of the luckless young man will be consigned to an eternal resting place 
beneath the sod.
Cherokee Tribe of Red Men, of which lodge Gordon was a member, made unsuccessful 
efforts to learn the whereabouts of the relatives and intimate friends of the 
deceased. This afternoon the body of the machinist will be buried at Elmwood 
cemetery. The funeral services will be conducted by Rev. Edward P. Miner, 
assistant rector of St. Luke's Episcopal church, and will be attended by a 
delegation of Red Men.
