        CAPT. OADES DEAD
        ----------------
        CAPT. JOHN OADES, shipbuilder, died on Thursday
      at his late residence, Detroit, after a protracted
      illness. Deceased, the pioneer shipbuilder on these
      lakes, was born in England seventy-nine years ago
      and came to this country at the age of four, when
      his parents settled in Sackett's Harbor, N.Y. Here 
      he received his education and learned the trade of
      a shipbuilder. He afterwards went into business at
      Clayton, N.Y., and about twenty-eight years ago
      went to Detroit. After working for the Detroit dry-
      dock company for some time he established a ship-
      yard of his own at the foot of Dubois street. His
      enterprise proved a success, his company having built
      some of the largest and finest steamers on the lakes.
      Owing to the sickness from which he suffered for the
      past two years his business has been looked after by
      his son, WALTER OADES. He left a widow and four children.
