Henry Proescher, one of Norfolk's oldest and best known citizens, died at 
his home, corner of Church Street and Princess Anne Avenue, at 4:30 o'clock 
yesterday morning in the 83d year of his age.  The deceased was born in 
Liepsic, Germany, in 1822, and in 1848, at the age of 26 years he came to 
Norfolk, where he has since resided.  For many years he conducted a butcher 
business in the city market, but afterwards engaged in the trucking 
business, which he conducted until a few years ago when he retired to 
private life.  He served for several years as a member of the councils from 
the Fourth ward and was also an owner of much real estate.  He is survived 
by a widow and six grown children.  His funeral will be solemnized from his 
late residence at 3 o'clock Thursday afternoon.
