                      Death of CAPT. HEBER SQUIER
                      
           Grand Haven, Mich. - Nov. 10. - [Special] -
         Word was received here today announcing the death of
         CAPT. HEBER SQUIER, of this place, at the St. Charles
         Hotel, Philadelphia, from typhoid-pneumonia. CAPT.
         SQUIER was well known on the lakes, having been con-
         nected with the marine business for years. He was 61
         years of age. It is expected that his remains will be
         brought here for interment. He leaves a wife and three
         daughters - one the wife of J. W. HUTTY, of Kansas
         City; one the wife of V. W. SEELEY, of this place,
         and one unmarried.
           [CAPT. SQUIER will be remembered by all the old
         time lake Captains, as he was certainly engaged in
         navigation for many years. In 1851 he sailed the
         Empire State, and in 1854 the old propeller Inter-
         national, which was afterwards lost. In 1855 he took
         command of the Lake Michigan Navigation Company's
         wrecking-tug Rescue. Since then he has commanded 
         different craft, but retired a number of years ago,
         and settled down at Grand Haven, where his family
         still resides. Of late years he has devoted his time
         to introducing an invention known as Squier's patent
         treenails, for stiffening vessels. His only son was
         lost on the Alpena.]
