Virginian Pilot May 21, 1911

W.J. Hosier, Sr., one of Norfolk's oldest citizens, died at the home of his 
son, W.J. Hosier, Jr., 260 Holt street, at 5:35 o'clock yesterday afternoon.  
The deceased was a native of Norfolk, where he had resided all of his life, 
and was well known and highly esteemed in the community.  For a number of 
years his vocation was that of a huckster in the city market, but owing to 
the gradual decline in his health he retired from the business some seven or 
eight years ago.  He was a Confederate veteran and served in Mahone's 
Brigade throughout the war.  He was in the eighty-third year of his age and 
was born April 26, 1829.  He was a consistent member of Centenary M.E. 
Church.  His wife preceded him to the grave seven years ago.  He has been a 
member of Harmony Lodge No. 19, I.O.O.F., since May 10, 1865.  He is 
survived by two sons, W.J. Hosier, Jr. and Charles S. Hosier and the 
following grandchildren:  W.J., Walter G. and Robert L. Hosier; Miss Doris 
Hosier, Miss Florence Hosier, and Miss Virginia Hosier, all of Norfolk.
The funeral will be held from the residence of his son, 260 Holt street, at 
4 o'clock Monday afternoon and will be conducted by Rev. John W. Shackford, 
of Centenary M.E. Church.
