**************************************************

In the death of Leonard Hyslop Sr., Berkley loses one of its most honored and 
venerable citizens, and those who were close to him sustain a great loss in his 
love and friendship.
He was the son of Jno. C. and Anne Haley Hyslop and was born on the Eastern 
Shore, Va. December 28, 1832 and died at the ripe old age of 79 years.  His 
parents came to Berkley when he was only three years old and for 76 years he has 
been a contributor to its growth, always public spirited and keenly interested 
in its affairs.  He was a steady, quiet and unoffending citizen, always seeking 
to help humanity and never rejoicing at its misfortunes.
During the Civil War he was recognized to be more valuable as a mechanic than a 
soldier and was detailed for duty at the Norfolk navy yard.  He helped to build 
the famous Merrimac and the fort at Sewell's Point and always referred to it 
with a high sense of pride.
The last five years of his life he was superintendent of the Magnolia cemetery 
and was anxious in his care of it and the interest of those whom he served.  
Even after his health began to fail he labored earnestly.
He is survived by a widow and two sons - W. T. Hyslop and Leonard Hyslop, Jr.
His funeral will take place from his late residence, 71 Walnut street, at 3 p.m. 
Tuesday.

**********************************************************************

The funeral of the late Leonard Hyslop, Sr., who died Sunday morning, will be 
conducted from the residence, 71 Walnut street, this afternoon at 3 o'clock.
