defeated the Syrian Federation I'M

DEATH or COL. HERBERT

The silent reaper removed from.
our midst yesterday one OF our oldest
and most esteemed citizens. Colonel
Arthur Herbert, a promiInt figure,
known and respected by all, passed
away at his home on Seminary Hill.
He was advancing toward his nine
tieth mile post when the wheels OF
life stood still.
Colonel Herbert was one of the few
ante bellum business men Of our city,
he having for over sixty years been
closely identified with Alexandria.
The banking firm of Burke & Her
bert has long been an important ad-
iunct of our business community.
In the latter part of the ffties it was
rccated on the northwest corner OF
Prince and Fairfax streets. In 1860
the firm: moved to the north side Of
King street, between Fairfax and
Royal, into the building now ocer-
pfed by the Western Union Teie-
graph Company. At the outbreak of
the hostilities the subject Of this no
:.;icr left Alexandria with the Confed-
crate companies which hal been quar-
tered here up to May "a, 1861, and
subsequently became Colonel OF the
Seventeenth Virginia Infantry, of
this city.
The bank, like similar institutions,
ceased to do business during the sue
ceeoing four years, and although
some banking institutions carried
many down with them in those days,
The firm Of Burke < Hcrhcr: enjoyed
The reputation Of not allowing any
of their depoSitors to lose by prevail
mo conditions. Eventually all claims
were met.
At the close 81 the war tfis firm re-
ooened at the northeast corner OF
King and Lee streets from when
place they later removed to Z build
inc upon the site of their present
bank. A few years ago THIS structure
save way to the present 'nodcrn edi-
fee.
We can say in all sincerity that
Colonel Herbert was one Of .hc best
Of men. While animated nH true bus
mess instincts, he possesSe@ Il soul TO
which no man ever appealed III vain.
Generous 10 fault, he turned down
none. and his r.unifcence will never
be fully known
Many an old Confederate who was
.duwn and out will ever remember
the ready response of Colonel Arthur
Herbert when appealed 20. But his
rheart was equally open to others,
many of whom have long finished
.l:fe's Journey, and will rise up in the
,.,eurroc;;oo and call him blessed
The senior PARTNER II this firm,
