Virginian-Pilot, January 14, 1902
The death of this widely known and highly esteemed citizen of the firm of B. F. 
Wright & Co., commission merchants, No. 31-35 Commerce Street, from apoplexy, 
in his room, No. 72, Atlantic Hotel, at 3 o'clock yesterday, where for three 
months he had resided, was a severe shock to his many friends in this 
community. The deceased was 56 years of age and is survived by his widow. He 
attended church Sunday night apparently in the best of health, and his sudden 
demise is a great surprise to his large circle of acquaintances. The deceased 
was treasurer of the Freemason Street Baptist Church, and also secretary of the 
Sunday School. He was a prominent Mason. The funeral will be held from the 
residence of his brother-in-law, Mr. D. W. Warren, No. 280 Bank Street, 
Wednesday afternoon at 3 o'clock.

Burial in Elmwood Cemetery, Norfolk, VA.
