Virginian-Pilot January 4, 1901
MRS. ELOISE I. MINOR PASSES PEACEFULLY AWAY AT HER HOME.

Mrs. Eloise I. Minor departed this life at her residence, No. 98 Holt street, at 
3:15 a.m. yesterday, after a brief illness, in the 84th year of her age. In her 
death, this community has lost one of those heroic characters which have 
distinguished the history of Norfolk. She was the widow of the late Dr. Lewis W. 
Minor, who was a fleet surgeon in the United States Navy, but, during the war 
between the North and South, he accepted and held the position of surgeon in the 
Confederate States Navy. During the prevalence of the yellow fever in Norfolk 
and Portsmouth, he was stationed at the Naval Hospital and was universally 
esteemed in this section for his many kindly offices to the people during that 
fearful plague.
Mrs. Minor was almost an historic figure in Norfolk, known by many and known of 
by all. She passed her days in that quiet and dignified way which made her an 
example of sincere and noble Christian character. Her nature was cast in that 
mold which has made true, pure, compassionate womanhood one of the highest 
expressions of the Christian religion. Her husband and son, Dr. Lewis Minor, and 
daughter, Mrs. William H. White, all died in Norfolk, leaving Mrs. Minor with no 
near kindred in Virginia, except her grandchildren, the daughter and son of Mr. 
Wm. H. White, of this city; Mrs. Eloise I. Hinton, of Petersburg, and Dr. L. H. 
Landon White, of the Polyclinic Hospital, New York. Mrs. Minor was Miss 
Innerarity, of Mobile, Ala. She was a devout communicant of St. Mary’s Catholic 
church, from which her funeral will take place at 11 o’clock this morning.
