Virginian-Pilot  March 15, 1891
Friday’s Washington Star said of Rev. Father Kevill, formerly of Norfolk, and 
whose death has been heretofore announced:
"Rev. Father W. J. Kevill, S.J., of Gonzaga College, died at 3:15 o’clock 
yesterday afternoon at the St. Aloysius parsonage, where he had been confined 
for about a week. When first taken sick, Father Kevill appeared to have only a 
slight cold, but yesterday morning it was evident that he was suffering from a 
severe attack of pneumonia and congestion of the lungs. Drs. Kleinschmidt and 
Magruder held a consultation, but his condition was beyond medical skill, and 
the patient died at the hour stated.
"Father Kevill was a native of Norfolk, Va., where he was born in 1853. Before 
leaving that city, he attended St. Mary’s school. He afterward attended the 
Louvne, Belgium, University, where he was a pupil of Monsignor Schroeder, who is 
now at the Catholic University here. In 1881, Father Kevill entered the Society 
of Jesus; three years later he studied at Woodstock, and, in 1885, he was a 
teacher in Gonzaga College. Three years ago he was ordained at Woodstock by 
Cardinal Gibbons, and, from that time until the latter part of last year, he was 
a professor in St. John’s College, Fordham, N.Y. In September of last year, he 
came to this city as vice-president and prefect of studies in Gonzaga College, 
which position he held at the time of his death.
Father Kevill was to have preached the sermon at the next Sunday services, when 
Monsignor Schroeder was to have sung mass. His funeral will take place from St. 
Aloysius church tomorrow (Saturday) morning at 9 o’clock. The interment will be 
in the cemetery of Georgetown College.”
