Virginian-Pilot  October 24, 1875
DEATH OF ANOTHER OLD CITIZEN - We are again pained to learn that another old 
citizen has been gathered to his fathers and a void left in another large and 
well-known family.  Mr. William Ward, one of our oldest citizens, died on Friday 
night at his residence on York Street, after a long and painful illness.  Mr. Ward 
was born in New York, but has resided here for the past 65 years, having been only 
10 years old upon his arrival.He was in business here for the larger portion of 
his life and was, at one time, a contractor for provisions for the navy.  His 
business, as well as his private life, was blameless and his acts have always been 
above suspicion.  He was for a long period a member of the Mechanics' Benevolent 
Society, an organization of which we believe his was one of the originators.  
Although his long career was spent in private life, there was none more highly 
respected and esteemed in the community, and none will be more deeply and 
sincerely mourned.

The funeral will take place at half-past 4 o'clock this afternoon, from his late 
residence, No. 60 York Street.
