                             OBITUARY
                             
                Death of CAPT. WILLIAM T. PEASE
                
              It is with unaffected sorrow that we announce
            the death of CAPT. WILLIAM T. PEASE which occurred
            about seven o'clock Saturday morning, at his resi-
            dence in this city, after an illness of a week's
            duration.
              WILLIAM T. PEASE was born in Derby, Connecticut,
            in September, 1803, and was in the seventy-third
            year of his age. In 1817 he came to Buffalo and
            early in life took to the lakes, and became one of
            the most accomplished navigators of the time. He
            commanded some of the finest steamers on our waters
            and became universally popular while in command of
            the splendid steamer, Queen City and still later
            the City of Buffalo, one of the two most magnifi-
            cent vessels ever built in this part of the world.
            Still later he commanded the propeller Fountain
            City, and the Galena, but for the past ten or
            twelve years he has discharged the duties of U.S.
            Local Inspector of steam vessels, faithfully and
            well.
              CAPT. PEASE was a gentleman by instinct and one
            of the most genial of men. But few men who were
            cotemporary with him on the lakes could lay claim
            to one-half his popularity, and the good will and
            high regard of all who knew him he commanded to
            the last.
              Deceased was a brother of MR. SHELDON PEASE,
            formerly of this city and now of New York, and
            our well known citizen MR. JOHN PEASE. He leaves
            a wife, and three children, MRS. WM. PEASE, MRS.
            H. T. APPLEBY and MRS. R. H. HEBARD. The funeral
            will take place at three o'clock this afternoon,
            from the family residence, No. 253 Allen street.
