Virginian Pilot March 3, 1901
Mr. Curtis O. Ives, one of the best known and most highly respected citizens of 
the town, died at his residence on Main street and Maple avenue, yesterday 
morning between 4 and 5 o'clock.  The deceased was confined to his home eight 
weeks with a complication of diseases, heart trouble principally, and had been 
in declining health for several months.  His death, however, was not looked for 
as he was thought to be very much better Friday.  The deceased was 60 years of 
age and was born near Blackwater, Princess Anne County, but had been almost a 
life long resident of Norfolk County and Berkley.  Until a few years ago he 
trucked on an extensive scale.
He served in the Confederate army, in the Sixty-first Virginia Regiment, and was 
wounded several times.  About five years ago he received the appointment of road 
commissioner, which position he held at the time of his death.  He was one of 
the oldest members of Providence Christian Church.
He was a son of the late W.W. Ives and leaves a widow, nee Miss Kattie Ottley, 
three daughters, Misses Mary, Lola and Fannie Will Ives and four sisters, Mrs. 
James Y. Old, Mrs. H.L. Graves, Misses Lottie and Laura Ives, and four brothers, 
Messrs, Alonzo, L.C. William, and George Ives.
Mr Ives was a highly esteemed citizen and his death is largely mourned.  The 
funeral will take place from the family residence Monday afternoon at 3 o'clock.
**************************************************************

The funeral services of Mr. Curtis O. Ives were conducted from the family 
residence, at Main street and Maple avenue, yesterday at 3 o'clock p.m. by Dr. 
J.P. Barrett, D.D., of Christian Memorial Temple, Norfolk, assisted by Rev. Dr. 
C.M. Connant, of St. Thomas Episcopal Church; Rev. H.H. Butler, of Suffolk and 
Rev. M.P. Porter, of Main Street Christian Church.  The remarks by the different 
clergymen were very impressive.  It was perhaps one of the most elaborate 
funeral services held in the town for a number of months and was attended by a 
host of friends and relatives of the deceased and family.  The various floral 
designs, contributed as a mark of esteem, were exquisite in beauty and artistic 
in arrangement.
Bouquet after bouquet was placed on and about the casket, until the deceased 
slept beneath a bed of flowers.  The remains were conveyed to their last resting 
place, in Magnolia Cemetery, where the services were concluded.  The following 
were the pallbearers: Messrs. D.C. Foreman, C.H. Williams, F.L. Portlock, W.B. 
Williams, S.Bland, S.W. Lyons, T.W. Butt and Dr. G.N. Halstead.
