Norfolk Virginian, June 20, 1889
Chief of Police Joseph A. Rolland died at his residence on Brewer Street last 
night about half past 9 o'clock from a complication of diseases from which he 
has been suffering for some time. Chief Rolland was a man of large family, and 
has been on the police force continuously since 1866, when he was appointed as 
a private. He worked his way through the ranks step by step until he was 
appointed chief to succeed the late Chief Benson, who died about ten years 
ago. Chief Rolland had probably been on the police force longer than any one 
of the present members, and was very popular with those who knew him. He has 
been suffering for some time from his ailments, and recently has only been 
able to make one or two trips to the stationhouse a week.
