Norfolk Landmark November 28, 1899
The funeral of Miss Herbert T. Livingston, whose remains reached here yesterday 
morning over the Cape Charles route from New York, where she died last Friday, 
took place in Elmwood Cemetery, Rev. Robert Gatewood, of St. Paul's P. E. 
Church, Berkley, conducting the services. Following were the pallbearers: 
Captain W. Old, Messrs. Charles Sharp, Thurman Hoggard, Jr., Thomas Talbot, A. 
T. Herbert, W. Minton Talbot.
Miss Livingston was born in Herbertsville, now Berkley, in 1809, and was the 
daughter of Captain John Livingston, who married a Miss Herbert, one of the 
well-known Herbert family who were the original patentors of the land lying in 
the rear of Berkley. She was the last of the name in Virginia and was descendant 
of one of the seven brothers who migrated to this country but has latterly made 
her home in New York.
The Herberts were scions of the house of Lord Pembroke. Her sister, Anne, 
married Anthony Walke, of the Episcopal Church, in his native country. Their 
home was the magnificent manor-estate of the Walkes, near Kempsville, which 
originally extended to Lynnhaven Bay. Another sister, known for her surpassing 
beauty and every other personal charm, became the wife of Dr. John Ingram, who 
was known and admired throughout Virginia for his gentlemanly qualities and 
culture. He was the father of Mrs. Bosher and of her sister Susan, both 
prominent in Norfolk society for a series of years. Miss Livingston was the type 
of all that is best and most gracious in a Virginia home.
