Norfolk Virginian June 9, 1883

The funeral of Mrs. Virginia Keating, widow of the late James Keating, took 
place on yesterday. A large number of friends assembled at 68 Brewer Street to 
take a last look at the deceased, who was very popular among her acquaintances. 
The remains were taken from her late residence to Christ Church, where 
appropriate remarks were made by the pastor, Rev. Dr. O.S. Batten. From there 
the large funeral cortege proceeded to Elmwood Cemetery, where all that was 
mortal of Mrs. Keating was laid to rest alongside of her husband.
James Keating will be well remembered by many old citizens as the once popular 
proprietor of the Washington House. He sickened and died last August and now his 
widow has followed him to "that bourne from whence no traveler ere returns."  
Some two months ago Mrs. Keating was taken sick and has been confined to her bed 
in extreme misery until death relieved her on Wednesday night. She has left two 
daughters, who are indeed orphans, having no relative in the world except one 
cousin in Alexandria. A good woman has gone before.
 
"Cold in the grave the silent heart may lie
But that which warmed it once can never die."
