                     in August, 1849, at Racine of cholera, likely

                     widow, Laura E. (Donihoo) passed away in 1852.
                     
                   - October 1st, 1851 - For six hours, during a gale,
                     attempted to rescue 2 men in a fishing boat.  Lost
                     sight of the boat when darkness fell and was forced
                     to abandon the effort.  Capt. Charles Main in
                     command.
                     
                   - November, 1851 - A false report stated the A. H.
                     Newbould had capsized on Lake Michigan with a loss
                     of 30 persons, a full cargo and 8 yoke of cattle
                     on deck.
                     
                   - November 12, 1852 - Left Buffalo at about 11 p.m.,
                     in ballast, for Fairport.  Encountered a strong
                     gale and put back for Buffalo.  Finding another
                     vessel blocking the entrance near the light house
                     she went to anchor at about 2 a.m.  Taking a small
                     boat, Capt. Ballantyne and 2 hands went ashore to
                     fasten a line to the pier.  Upon attempting to return
                     to the NEWBOLD to secure the line to her they found
                     that she had dragged anchor and was bumping on the
                     breakwater, driving a hole in her, and was taking
                     on water.  The first mate, who had stayed aboard the
                     NEWBOLD, tied a rope around himself and jumped into
                     the water.  Gale driven waves threw him up onto the
                     breakwater where he was saved and the line was used
                     to rescue the crew who were still aboard.  The storm
                     continued Friday night and most of Saturday, pounding
                     the NEWBOLD to pieces against the breakwater.
