Norfolk Virginian January 4, 1880
Yesterday morning, Mr. John Harnett, a stranger in this city, died suddenly in 
his bed at Mrs. Newton's boarding house on Main street. His son, a youth about 
16 years of age, went to the bed about 8 o'clock to arouse his father and found 
that he had breathed his last, which was the first intimation the inmates of the 
house had of the affair. Mr. Harnett was from Bermuda and was stopping in 
Norfolk for his health, being a sufferer from asthma and heart disease, and had 
been here about a month. He was in as good health as usual on Friday night 
without any expectation of an attack of sickness. When his death was discovered, 
Dr. Wm. Selden was called in and expressed the opinion that the deceased died 
while asleep. Mr. Harnett was not known in Norfolk further than is stated above. 
He was a Mason and the members of that Order in the city are interesting 
themselves in the matter of his burial.
