        FAMILY STUNNED AT NEWS OF DEATH
           OF CAPT. McGREEVY

        CAPT. FRANK P. McGREEVY, who went down with his ship and crew,
     lived at no. 236 West Utica Street, this city. He had not been in
     Buffalo since the 10th of April, when he went away to take charge of
     the Olive Jeannette. He leaves a widow, MRS. MARGARET McGREEVY, three
     daughters, MRS. A. F. HAZEN, of New York City, MRS. J. M. MILLER of
     Oklahoma, and MISS FRANCES M. McGREEVY of Buffalo; the captain also
     leaves three sons, FRED J., FRANK J., and G. OSWALD McGREEVY, all of
     Buffalo.
        CAPT. McGREEVY has sailed the lakes all his life and for the past
     two seasons commanded the Olive Jeannette. His vessel touched only at
     Ohio and Pennsylvania ports, which accounts for his absence from
     Buffalo. He was one of the best-known and most popular captains on the
     Great Lakes. His vessel was in the ore-carrying trade and was owned W.
     A. Hawgood & Co. of Cleveland.
        The Courier reporter brought the news to the family shortly after
     midnight. A son and daughter were seen, to whom the intelligence was
     imparted. They were too stunned to realize the disaster. Shortly be-
     fore the reporter's arrival the family received a telegram from W. A.
     Hawgood of Cleveland stating that he had heard nothing of the vessel.
     The captain was about 50 years old. Previous to his taking charge of
     the Olive Jeannette he was engaged for eleven years with the Tona-
     wanda Iron & Steel Company.
