Norfolk Virginian Sunday December 16, 1894

Yesterday morning the schooner Mary E. Graham came in the harbor with her 
flags at half mast and investigation revealed the fact that her master, 
Capt. Columbus A. Tall, had died of heart disease, Thursday night about 9 
o'clock, while on the way to this port.
Capt. Tall was well-known in shipping circles and highly respected by all 
who knew him.  He was originally from Baltimore, but for the last fifteen 
years he has been in the employ of the Greenleaf-Johnson Lumber Company and 
for the past three years has commanded the schooner Graham.
His remains were removed from the vessel by Undertaker Cox to his late 
residence on Montalant avenue.  His funeral will take place this afternoon 
from the Chestnut Street M.E. Church at 3 o'clock.
