        CAPTAIN JOSEPH LAMPOH. Among the young shipmasters sailing on the
     Great Lakes few have made a more enviable record than CAPT. JOSEPH
     LAMPOH, of Cleveland, who has been a master of steamer and sailing
     crafts for ten years. He was born in Cleveland, in 1860, his father
     being Capt. STEPHEN LAMPOH, who sailed vessels belonging to the
     Bradley fleet for twenty-six years.
        JOSEPH LAMPOH began sailing at the age  of fourteen years, going
     with his father on the schooner Fayette Brown.  He remained on this
     vessel two seasons, and then sailed as seaman before the mast on the
     schooner Alva Bradley, which was also commanded by his father. During
     the next four years he was engaged on various boats of the Bradley
     fleet, among them being the schooners Ahira Cobb, S. J. Tilden,
     Sandusky, J. R. Pelton, Negaunee, and the steamer Superior. During
     the season 1880 he was mate of the schooner Alva Bradley, with his
     father, and 1881 was mate of the schooner Escanaba. He was second mate
     of the steamer Selah Chamberlin, the following season, and a year
     later mate of the schooner Fayette Brown, with CAPT. FRED GREEN.
     In 1884 he was mate of the schooner John N. Martin, and the next
     season master of the schooner David Wagstatf. He commanded his first
     vessel in 1886, in that year becoming master of the schooner H. J.
     Webb, and the following season was master of the schooner M. R.
     Warner, and in 1888 master of the schooner M. E. Tremble. In 1889 he
     was mate of the steamer Colgate Hoyt, and master of a little steamer
     called J. C. Liken, and which was lost in that year off Spectacle Reef
     in Lake Huron. Then CAPTAIN LAMPOH was given command of the schooner
     Sophia Minch, which he sailed for four years, in 1894 being made
     master of the steamer Everett for one year, then the John Glidden,
     which he sailed until navigation closed in 1896, and the season of
     1898 found him in a position on the steamer Onoko of the Minch fleet.
        On January 23, 1882, CAPTAIN LAMPOH was married to Miss EFFIE
     CLEMENT, of Brunswick, Ohio, and they have one child, CADDIE M.
