The Norfolk Landmark June 13, 1891

WALKE - Suddenly at 2 p.m. June 12th, 1891, in Berkley, JAMES RANDOLPH WALKE, 
aged 72 years.
Funeral will take place Sunday, June 14th, at 10 a.m., from the Armstrong 
Memorial Church, corner Main Street and Maple Avenue, Berkley.
************************************************************************
The funeral services of Mr. James R. Walke, Sr., in accordance with previous 
notice, were conducted by the Rev. H.G. Miller, pastor at Armstrong Memorial, 
Sunday morning at 10 o'clock. A large number of persons both of Norfolk and 
Portsmouth united with our own citizens in rending their tribute of respect to 
the memory of this Confederate soldier, who enlisted at the commencement of 
hostilities and was not again seen by his family until after the war. It was 
right to show respect to his memory and to confirm that respect in the offering 
of beautiful floral testimonials, prominent among which "Gates Ajar", made for 
Norfolk County ferries by Mr. W.J. Harris, of Portsmouth, was the conspicuous 
reminder of the esteem in which he was held by those with whom he was intimately 
associated.  The following gentlemen who knew him so well in life bore his 
casket to the grave: J. Barry King, T. C. Humphries, Enos Cuthrell, Major John 
Mullen, Dr. George W. Wallace, A.H. Martin, Isaac Diggs and T.H. Tebault.
