American Beacon & Norfolk Daily Advertiser -
  (P. 2, C. 7-  Oct. 6, 1839-Lib. of Va. film #188) OBITUARY-:

" It is our painful duty to announce to the public the death of our esteemed fellow- citizen Swepson Whitehead, Esq. at his residence in this place, on Sunday evening, in the 63rd year of his age.  He suffered from an attack of paralysis some months since, while engaged in Court, and was conveyed to his house, which he was unable to leave until within two or three weeks past.  On Saturday he rode out in a carriage, and his friends, as well as his himself, indulged the hope that he would be able to resume his business during the present week.  But alas! these expectations were doomed to sad disappointment.  On that evening about 11 o'clock, he suffered a second attack of paralysis apoplexy, and died the next evening about the same hour. 

There is not in this section of country, a single individual better known and esteemed than was he; and in the various offices which he filled from time to time, he gave unqualified satisfaction.

He was Clerk of the Borough Court for several years, and was Attorney for the Commonwealth at the time of his decease.  He was President of the Exchange Bank of Virginia, with the exception of a short interval, since it's organization and, although he never held any political office, he was associated with all the literary and benevolent institutions of the Borough, which were ever eager to receive the sanction of his approbation and heed the voice of his counsels.

His leading traits were goodness of heart, and an honesty of purpose which was above all fear or suspicion. 

He has left a wife and family, to lament a bereavement, the severity of which will, we trust, be alleviated by the universal sympathy of our citizens.  His friends and acquaintances are respectfully invited to attend his Funeral from his late residence, corner of Mariner & Chapel Streets, this morning at half past 10 O'clock."
