Virginian Pilot September 11, 1910

Hadoram T. Halstead died at the Protestant Hospital at 7 o'clock yesterday 
morning after a lingering illness.
The deceased was a native of Princess Anne County, but when a child came to 
Norfolk and was educated at the Norfolk Academy. Later (he) held government 
positions in Virginia, Maryland, North Carolina, serving in the lighthouse 
department as bookkeeper and secretary to Admiral Jouett, Commodore T.A. Doenin 
and Commodore Fabin Stanley, U.S.N., afterwards admirals.
He was also associated with Col. Peter C. Haines and Col. Franklin Harwood, 
U.S.A.
He served as accountant in the custom house at Norfolk and the navy yard and was 
widely known as an efficient correspondent.
After seven years in government work he resigned to enter mercantile pursuits in 
which (he) was actively engaged for ten years. Later he became interested in 
real estate but had been retired from business for a number of years.
He purchased the Baltimore building on the Exposition grounds two years ago and 
was living there with his family until January 12 last, when it was destroyed by 
fire in which his two children were burned to death, he and his wife barely 
escaping with their lives. Since that time he has been ill at the home of his 
sister until a few weeks ago when he was removed to the Protestant hospital.
Besides his widow, he is survived by a brother and two sisters, A.S. Halstead, 
of North Carolina; Mrs. J.J. Webb, of York, Pa. and Mrs. Samuel D. Rhodes, ,of 
Norfolk.
