Norfolk Virginian June 10, 1894 

The venerable Daniel A. Seymour died at his home corner Charles street and 
Highland avenue early yesterday morning.  He was 86 years old and was one of 
the most holy men in the community.  All that knew him were impressed with 
his godly walk and conversation.  He leaves a devoted wife and a number of 
children, who feel well assured that their sad loss is his great gain.  He 
was the oldest member of Park Avenue Baptist Church, where his funeral will 
take place this afternoon at 4 o'clock, Rev. J.J. Hall, D.D., officiating.

Park Avenue Baptist Church was the scene Sunday at 4 p.m. of a most solemn 
impressive service, it being the occasion of the funeral of the venerable 
Daniel A. Seymour, an influential member of this church.  The pastor, Rev. 
J.J. Hall, D.D., used the following appropriate passage as text for his 
discourse: "And he died in a good old age, full of days, riches and honor," 
I Chron. xxix:28.  The chair which this godly man always occupied at church 
was draped in mourning and was a conspicuous feature of the funeral scenery.  
Members of other churches, who were admirers of the deceased, were among the 
many friends and brethren who paid this last tribute of respect,.  Rev. W.F. 
Watson, of Spurgeon Memorial Baptist Church, took a part in the service.  
Remains were taken to Berkley for interment in Magnolia Cemetery.  The 
following are the names of the pallbearers:  Messrs. A.B. Walker, Jno. W. 
Whitehurst, A.H. Ashburn, Dennis Etheridge, Robert Goode and John R. Powell.
