Subsequently Captain Littlepage was engaged in farming in his native county and later in the commission business at New York and Baltimore, until 1880, when he went to Washington as private secretary for Senator Johnson of Virginia. He afterward served in the same capacity with Senator Call, and, in 1889, was appointed to his present position, that of agent for the collection of naval records in the war department, in which his prominent service during the war of the Confederacy has peculiarly fitted him for efficient and valuable activity. He maintains a membership in the Washington camp of Confederate Veterans.
Charles T. Loehr, of Richmond, Va., a gallant veteran of the Old Dominion Guards, and very prominent since the war in the organizations of surviving Confederate soldiers, is a native of Germany, born in Westphalia, August 8, 1842. His residence in Richmond began in 1853 and, early in 1861, he signalized his patriotic devotion to his adopted State by rendering valuable aid in the organization of the Old Dominion Guards, one of the gallant volunteer organizations at Richmond. The Guards was assigned to the First Virginia regiment as Company D, and with its record as such he was identified during the entire war, with an efficiency that was recognized by promotion to corporal, in February, 1863, and to sergeant in the winter of 1864. Mr. Loehr participated in twenty well-known battles, besides many skirmishes and minor engagements. The list includes Bull Run, Manassas, Williamsburg, Seven Pines, Gaines' Mill, Frayser's Farm, Second Manassas, South Mountain, Sharpsburg, Fredericksburg, Suffolk, Gettysburg, Plymouth, Drewry's Bluff, Howlett House, Milford, Cold Harbor, Clay House, Dinwiddie Court House and Five Forks.

He was imprisoned at Point Lookout until June 27th, many weeks after the surrender.

For twenty-eight years he has held the important position of actuary of the Virginia fire and marine insurance company. He is also secretary and treasurer of the Virginia building and loan company.
