Norfolk Virginian Friday, May 14, 1875
Norfolk, Virginia 

Funeral of Judge E. P. Pitts-Sunday afternoon there was  quite a large 
assemblage at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, to pay the last tribute of 
respect to the memory of Judge E. P. Pitts, whose sudden death on Friday 
last we have before noted. The services were conducted by the Rector, Rev. 
N. A. Okeson, D. D., according to the rites of the church, no funeral 
discourse being delivered. The remains were borne to the hearse from the 
church by eight decently dressed colored men, the following gentlemen, most 
of them members of the bar, acting as pallbearers, walking in the rear: 
Judges W. H. Burroughs and George P. Scarburgh, Messrs. A. Wrenn, James 
Cornick, L. M. Harmanson, hon, John Goode and W. Tucker Brooke. The remains 
were taken to Elmwood Cemetery, where in its retired shades, they calmly 
sleep until the close of time. Requiescat in pace.
