   [extract from article regarding loss of schooner Augustus Ford]

              CAPTAIN JOSEPH C. PEASE, her owner and commander, was
            one of Oswego's oldest captains, having commanded many crafts
            belonging at this port, among which we recall the propellers
            Oswego and City Of Madison and the schooners Osceola, Arabian,
            Delos DeWolf, W.I. Preston and Augustus Ford. he came to Oswego
            over 35 years ago, and for over thirty years had sailed the
            lakes. In fact, he has been sailing from the time when he came
            here till he lost his life, except a period of eight years
            during which he was in the chandlery business in this city in
            the firm of Pease & Barrow. Capt. Pease was a natural sailor,
            having been born near Nantucket, whence during his youth, he
            made several voyages in whaling ships. CAPT. PEASE represented
            his ward in the Oswego County Board of Supervisors for one or
            more years, making a careful and faithful representative. He
            was a good citizen and an upright man. He leaves a wife and two
            children, son and daughter, sorrowing survivors of his lament-
            able death.
