           [214]

                  CAPTAIN JAMES H. NORMAND, who has been a tug captain in
               Cleveland for nearly thirty years, was born in that city in
               1850. His father was the late CAPT. JOSEPH NORMAND, and his
               advent into the world took place in a house which stood in
               the very center of what is now Hickory street.
                  His sailing career began when he was eighteen years of
               age on the schooner Eagle.  Shortly after he served as
               fireman on the tugs Monitor, and Abe Nelson, and then
               received his master's papers, since which time he has com-
               manded the tugs Standard, Fish, Shoo Fly, Belle King, Old
               Jack, Sickeson, R. K. Hawley, Maggie Sanborn, Charles
               Henry, Enterprise, Florence N., E. R. Edson, Morning Star,
               Levi Johnson, and Starkweather.
                  Captain Normand's first service was in the employ of the
               Standard Oil Company, and he remained with that concern
               fifteen years. He was on the Monitor, when she took the
               first barge loaded with oil from the company's works to the
               mouth of the Cuyahoga river, that being the inception of an
               enterprise that resulted in an enormous saving to the com-
               pany. CAPTAIN NORMAND has also taken a tug up the Cuyahoga
               river to a point five miles above the Standard Oil Company's
               works, this being the highest point ever reached by a tug.
                  In 1875 CAPTAIN NORMAND married MRS. ADELINE THAUNETTE,
               widow of the late HENRY CRANGLE, of Cleveland. Having no
               children of their own they have taken to their hearts
               and home an adopted child, whom they call ADELINE NORMAND.
