Virginian-Pilot February 4 & 5, 1888
Capt. P. McCarrick, the venerable commander of the Old Dominion steamer 
Northampton, died at his residence on Bute street last night at twelve o’clock. 
Captain McCarrick was one of the oldest and most well known steamboatmen in this 
section and one of the most popular commanders ever afloat. With always a kind 
word for everyone, he had attached to himself a large circle of friends who will 
be pained to learn of his death. His funeral will take place from St. Mary’s 
Catholic Church Sunday morning at nine o’clock.

A GOOD MAN CALLED TO REST.
The earth that will close up the grave of Captain Patrick McCarrick this 
peaceful Sunday morning will cover the earthly remains of one whose life was 
without blemish—-the personification of manhood, noble, brave, gentle and true. 
His death leaves a void in our community. All classes of our people feel the 
loss, and none more so than the little orphans, whom it was his love to care 
for, and the many who have experienced the effect of his benevolence when 
affliction or need had visited their households. The general expression of 
sorrow prevailing in our midst is an indication of the very great esteem in 
which he was held. His good name is a priceless heritage to his family, and a 
truly honored one in the annals of our city. Peace to his ashes.
