Virginian-Pilot January 28, 1883
The Funeral of W. T. Morrisett.
The funeral of this gentleman, whose death has been so sincerely regretted by 
the community at large, took place yesterday morning at 10 o’clock from St. 
Mary’s Church and was largely attended. The members of the two branches of the 
City Council were present in a body, as also nearly all the officers of the 
city, besides a phalanx of the city police, who acted as an escort from the 
residence to the church, and from the church to the outskirts of the city. A 
solemn requiem mass was celebrated, the Rev. Father Cutlar officiating previous 
to the sacrifice of the mass. The Rev. Father O’Keefe delivered a feeling 
address, in which he paid a just tribute to the memory of the deceased, whom he 
had known for more than thirty years. After the service of the mass the remains 
were conveyed to the Catholic Cemetery, followed by a large concourse of 
sympathizing friends. The services at the grave were conducted by Father 
O’Keefe. The following gentlemen acted as pallbearers:
Select Council-Judge George S. Oldfield and S. T. Oliver.
Common Council—Capt. C. G. Elliott and John O’Connor.
Citizens—Capt. Thomas Kevill, Samuel Marsh, William M. Newstead and Isaac Bush.
Peace to his ashes.
