                            OBITUARY
                            --------
                       Captain James Pappa 
                Captain James Pappa, one of the best 
             known marine men in this city, died at 
             his home, 69 East Oneida St., about six 
             o'clock last night after an illness of 
             several months.  Captain Pappa was born
             in Bath, Canada, in 1830, and at an early 
             age moved to this city.  As a youth he 
             traveled extensively, visiting Nicaragua 
             and Panama, and later California.
               Returning here he began his career on 
             the Great Lakes, which lasted over 50 
             years.  During that time he sailed in the 
             schooners Ontonagon, Sophia J. Luff, Boody, 
             M.I. Wilcox, the steamers Westford, A.A. 
             Turner, T. Kingsford and the tug C.P. Morey, 
             in which he owned a half interest.
               For about six years he was connected with 
             the Whitney line, of Cleveland, and during 
             the last five he has been with the Folgers, 
             of Kingston. It was while he was a mate on 
             the New Island Wanderer that he was taken 
             sick last August. He seemed to recover his 
             health for awhile, but shortly afterwards 
             suffered a relapse and since then death has 
             been expected at any time.
               Captain Pappa was not only prominent in
             marine circles, but he stood high in the
             Masonic order.  The news of his death will
             be received with sorrow in every quarter
             of the city.  He is survived by a son,
             Fred, of Chicago, and a daughter, Mrs.
             Jolly of Rochester.
