McCarrick, which occurred Wednesday night in Stamford, New York, came as a shock to this community, where he was well known and universally beloved. Mr. McCarrick left Norfolk the middle of August with his family to spend his vacation in the Catskills. Soon after his arrival, he was stricken with pneumonia, and, while his illness was considered serious, his relatives and friends were quite unprepared for its fatal termination. In the death of Mr. McCarrick, Norfolk loses one of her best and most highly respected citizens. He was the son of the late Captain James McCarrick and was born here in 1872. He received his education at Notre Dame. Indiana, and Georgetown University, and for eighteen years has been connected with the Southern Railway. He was a devout and consistent Catholic, a man of the highest integrity, and possessed of a disposition that endeared him to all with whom he was associated. His place in Norfolk’s business and social circles will not be readily filled, for of him it can be truly said that he was “One to bear without reproach the grand old name of gentleman.” Mr. McCarrick is survived by his wife and three daughters, three sisters, Mrs. Bourbon Cary, Mrs. Wallace Lawrence and Mrs. Irvin Martin, all of Norfolk, and one brother, James A. McCarrick. The remains are expected to arrive here this morning and, while no arrangements for the funeral have yet been announced, it will probably take place from the Sacred Heart Church in York street, of which congregation Mr. McCarrick was a prominent member. The body of Joseph D. McCarrick, who died Wednesday night in Stamford, N.Y., after ten days’ illness, arrived in Norfolk yesterday and was taken to the family residence, 516 Raleigh avenue. The funeral will be held at Sacred Heart Catholic church at 11:30 this morning. Burial will be in St. Mary’s cemetery. First Vice-President Burke of the Board of Trade, of which Mr. McCarrick was a member, has appointed the following committees to attend the funeral: W. A. Marable. C. L. Candler, W. H.
