Virginian-Pilot  September 18 & 22, 1887
OFFUTT - At the residence of her husband, in Washington, on Saturday night, 
September 17, at 9 o'clock, KATE, the beloved wife of E. A. Offutt and second 
daughter of Captain P. McCarrick, of this city.
Funeral from St. Mary's Catholic Church on Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock.

Funeral of Mrs. E. Offutt.
The remains of this esteemed lady, daughter of Captain P. McCarrick, arrived 
yesterday from Washington, D. C., accompanied by the husband and relatives, and 
were at once transferred to St. Mary’s Church and placed before the altar, where, 
not many months ago, she stood a lovely bride while the grand nuptial mass was 
celebrated. Then all was joy and gladness and the beautiful altar of St. Mary’s 
looked its loveliest. Yesterday the drapings of mourning and the black vestments 
of the officiating clergyman testified to the sadness that prevailed. There was a 
very large attendance of sympathizing friends present and a solemn requiem mass 
was celebrated, the Rev. Father Cutler officiating, assisted by Fathers Doherty, 
Brady and Hanley, and the venerable Father O’Connell was present in the sanctuary. 
On the conclusion of the mass, the Rev. Father Cutler ascended the pulpit and 
delivered a touching discourse, alluding to the many lovely traits of character 
possessed by her who had been so suddenly called from earth. After the address of 
Father Cutler, the lid of the coffin was removed so that the relatives and friends 
might be enabled to have a last sad look at the features of all they loved so 
well. It was an affecting scene, and there were few eyes that did not weep tears 
of sorrow. The remains were then borne from the church to their lasting resting 
place in the Catholic Cemetery. The following gentlemen were the pall-bearers: 
Messrs. Joseph C. Culpepper, John P. Kevill, C. H. Llewellyn, R. F. Holmes, J. 
Devereaux Burrow, P. X. Smith, J. A. Turner and T. T. Tabb. The floral offerings 
were many and beautiful.
