Norfolk Journal and Guide,Apr 9,1949
Norfolk - Capt. Edward W. Gould, 93, who captained a regiment in the
Spanish-American War, and veteran churchman, died Saturday, April 2, at 8:10
p.m., after approximately 10 days confinement at his home, 742 Johnson avenue.

Capt. Gould, a native of Kempsville, Norfolk County, had come to Norfolk at
about the age of 12.  For over 25 years he worked as china packer for J. W.
Martin, then on Commercial Place.  From this job he retired about 25 years ago,
and since devoted practically all of his interests to the church.

For 60 years he was an active member of the First Baptist Church, Bute street,
serving uninterruptedly since 1891 as church clerk.  In 1943 his church honored
him with a special service.  He also served as a deacon, trustee and a member of
the managers’ board.  Generally he was found at both morning and evening
services on Sunday.

Other than the church, Capt. Gould was affiliated with the Love and Charity
fraternal organization with headquarters in Richmond.

His survivors include one brother, Phillip C. Gould, Chicago, IL;  two
daughters, Mrs. Lillian G. Gordon and Mrs. Helen Harris, Chicago;  three
grandchildren, Mrs. Theresa G. Richards, Mrs. Lillian P. Petties, and Mrs.
Majura G. Dancey.

Funeral rites will be held at the First Baptist Church Friday, April 8, at 1
p.m. with Hale Funeral Home in charge.  Interment will be in Calvary Cemetery.
