COL. N. BERKELEY DEAD
A Confederate Veteran Passes Peacefully Away in His Home at Waterfall
Col. Norborne Berkeley, eighty-two years old, died at his home, near Waterfall, yesterday [January 12, 1911] afternoon, following a stroke of paralysis on Monday. He was educated at the Virginia Military Institute and at the beginning of the Confederate war, was made Lieutenant Colonel of the celebrated eighth Virginia Infantry commanded by the late General Eppa Hunton.
When Colonel Hunton was wounded at the battle of Gettysburg, Col. Berkeley was promoted to the command of the regiment and led it, with gallantry, through many hardfought battles.
Though Col. Berkeley had attained over four score years of age, he manifested the vitality and energy of one very much younger, and took much interest in caring for the details of his rural home at the foot of the romatic Bull Run mountains.
When stricken he was engaged in pruning his well-kept orchard, and death claimed him without his re-gaining consciousness.
The deceased is survived by an elder brother, Lieutenant-Colonel Edmund Berkeley, who, upon the promotion of his brother Norborne, at Gettysburg, was made Lieutenant-Colonel of the regiment.
The funeral took place this afternoon from St. Paul's Episcopal church in Haymarket, the Rev. Mr. Grinnan, rector of the church, officiating, and interment was in St. Paul's church cemetery.
Those acquainted with the deceased will attest his many amiable qualities of mind and heart, and who will mourn his loss.
