The Virginian Pilot and Norfolk Landmark October 7, 1918

One of the saddest deaths that has resulted from the present epidemic is that 
of Edward Walter James, Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. E.W. James, 723 Duke Street, 
which occurred at the home Sunday a.m. at 8:15 o'clock. Had he lived until 
Monday he would have been 15 years old. Eight years ago, when the epidemic of 
infantile paralysis raged in the city he was stricken with that malady and has 
since remained an invalid. Through all these years his sufferings have been 
borne with patience and beautiful Christian fortitude. His bright, cheery 
disposition endeared him to all who came in contact with him. His friends are 
counted by hundreds who will grieve to learn of his passing. He is survived by 
his devoted parents and sister, Miss Catherine James.
The funeral services will be held at 3 o'clock tomorrow afternoon at the 
residence, with Rev. S.T. Senter officiating.
