Virginian Pilot and Norfolk Landmark March 10, 1918
Nathaniel Portlock Tatem, aged 58 years, one of the best known citizens of 
Berkley, died very suddenly of heart trouble yesterday morning about 7:30 
o'clock while en route from his home, 27 Pendleton street, to the Navy Yard, 
where he was employed as a machinist. Mr. Tatem had boarded the little foot 
ferry which transports the workmen across the river, when nearly across he was 
stricken and expired in the boat as it neared the Portsmouth side. The body, 
after being placed on the wharf and viewed by the Portsmouth city coroner, was 
turned over to Funeral Director, J.R. Williams of Berkley.
Mr. Tatem, who was a native of Berkley and was one of the most prominent and 
esteemed residents, was a good citizen and always took a prominent part in 
politics and was at all times always considerate of the welfare of the 
community in which he lived.  Mr. Tatem was a machinist by trade and for many 
years held a position with the Norfolk Marine Railway and was also in business 
on his own account at one time. For the past several years he was employed at 
the Navy Yard.  He was prominent and active in Masonic circles. 
He was the son of the late Benjamin Thomas and Mrs. Mary Louisa Tatem of 
Norfolk county and is survived by one brother, Sgt. James F. Tatem, and two 
sisters, Miss M. Sue Tatem and Miss Margaret Tatem.
The funeral services will be conducted at the family residence, 27 Pendleton 
street, Monday afternoon at 3 o'clock by Rev. R. R. Phelps, rector of St. 
Paul's Episcopal church and burial will be in the family lot in Magnolia 
Cemetery.
