Norfolk Landmark, Fri., Aug. 7, 1908, pg. 4 

The announcement of the sudden death of Colonel N.C. Pamplin, which occurred at 
Pamplin City, Virginia, early yesterday morning, caused many expressions of 
regret here.
At the time of his death Colonel Pamplin was on a visit to his sister and was 
only ill for about twenty minutes when he succumbed to the attack of heart 
failure. The remains arrived in Norfolk over the Norfolk and Western last night 
and were immediately removed to Oliver’s Funeral Apartments, where they will 
remain until this morning at 10:30 o’clock, when they will be laid to rest in 
Cedar Grove Cemetery after funeral services at the grave.
The services at the chapel at Oliver’s Funeral Apartments will be conducted by 
the Rev. C.E. Woodson.
Mrs. Pamplin and her son were not with Colonel Pamplin when he died, but will 
arrive here this morning on the Bay Line steamer to attend the obsequies.
The deceased is survived by a widow and one son, N.C. Pamplin, Jr. For thirty 
years Colonel Pamplin was one of Norfolk’s most highly esteemed citizens being 
manager of the Western Union Telegraph Company’s office here and also serving 
as a member of the Common Council and the Board of School Trustees.
Two years ago he moved to Philadelphia where he has resided since.
Colonel Pamplin has not been in robust health for a year of two and the death 
of his son, Mr. William Pamplin, which occurred about a year ago, was a shock 
from which he never recovered. He had not been engaged in active business since 
he left Norfolk.
Colonel Pamplin was about sixty five years old and was born in Pamplin City, 
Virginia, where he died and where his sisters, Mrs. P.P. Pankey and Mrs. Dora 
Pamplin reside.
Several of the close personal friends of Colonel Pamplin, who are now out of 
the city on their summer vacations were informed of his death by wire, but may 
be unable to reach Norfolk in time for the funeral service this morning.
