Chicago, J. H. Beers & Co., 1899


          ELMER E. HAND, for the season of 1896 engineer of the Erastus
       Day, was born at Sandusky, Ohio, January 25, 1861, a son of JAMES M.
       and P. M. HAND, the former of whom was born in New York State in
       1822, and the latter in Ohio in 1831.  JAMES M. HAND was a seafaring
       man all his life, and while he was master of the schooner C. C.
       Griswold she was lost on Lake Superior, November 27, 1872, with all
       hands.

          The subject of this sketch began his seafaring life about the
       year 1880 as a tug engineer, and has continued in that capacity
       until the present time. For the season of 1896 he was engineer of
       the tug Erastus Day, and his experience in marine service has been
       that of the usual tug engineer.  MR. HAND married MARIE A. CONNOR,
       of Buffalo, and they reside at Conneaut, Ohio.
