Norfolk Virginian August 4, 1885
                          DEATH of an OLD CITIZEN.
The many friends of Mr. David F. Keeling will be pained this morning to learn of 
his death, which occurred at his late residence, No. 69 Duke street, yesterday 
afternoon at 4 o'clock.
During his early life, Mr. Keeling was a member of the firm of Keeling & 
Hipkins, doing business on Campbell's wharf, after which he assumed 
proprietorship of the old National Hotel, now the Purcell House. Afterward he 
conducted the restaurant business at No. 207 Main street. Before the war broke 
out, he went to Baltimore, where he remained until after its close, when he 
returned to Norfolk. Since that time, he has been engaged in various mercantile 
pursuits, being at one time the agent of the steamer George Leary, running 
between here and Washington. Mr. Keeling was warm hearted and generous to a 
fault and was greatly liked by all who knew him. He was 66 years old and leaves 
a wife and several children to mourn their loss. His funeral will take place 
from his late residence tomorrow (Wednesday) afternoon at 5 o'clock.
