Virginian-Pilot, March 15, 1870
Death of an Estimable Gentleman. - On Sunday evening last Mr. Lewis Rose, one 
of our most esteemed citizens, departed this life at his residence, on 
Fenchurch Street, of pneumonia, after a short illness. Mr. Rose, although not a 
native of Norfolk, has been a resident for many years, and served with 
gallantry in the late war in the Norfolk Light Artillery Blues, of which he was 
a member. Since the war he has occupied a position in the drug store of M. A. & 
C. A. Santos, where he had established a reputation for honesty and integrity. 
He had been married comparatively a short time, and leaves a disconsolate widow 
and two children to mourn his loss. The funeral will take place from the late 
residence of the deceased at 2 o'clock this evening, and will be attended by 
the Norfolk Blues Memorial Association, of which he was an esteemed member, as 
also by Lafayette Lodge I. O. O. F. We tender our heartfelt sympathy with the 
widow and orphans of the deceased in their irreparable loss.

Virginian-Pilot, March 16, 1870

AN ERROR. - In our issue of yesterday we inadvertently stated that Mr. Lewis
Rose, whose death we announced, was a member of the Norfolk Light Artillery
Blues, and of the Blues' Memorial Association. This was a mistake; Mr. Rose
fought through the war in the celebrated Huger Battery, and of course could not
be a member of the Blues' Memorial Association. In consequence this Society
did not turn out at his funeral.
