           [214]

                  JOSEPH NORMAND. The subject of this sketch was born in
               Cleveland, Ohio, in 1864, a son of CAPT. JOSEPH NORMAND, who
               owned and sailed vessels during the earlier half of the
               century, and was one of the earliest wire-rope riggers on
               the Great Lakes.
                  Our subject commenced his sailing career in 1873 as fire-
               man on the yacht Herald, where he remained two seasons. Then
               he entered the employ of the firm of L. P. & J. A. Smith,
               serving as fireman successively on the tugs Shoo Fly, Maggie
               Sanborn, L. P. Smith, James Amadeus, and Standard, being
               with the latter boat three years, one of which he served in
               the capacity of engineer; afterward entering the employ
               of ROBERT GREENHALGH, and for one and a half years served as
               engineer on the tugs W. H. Doan, C. E. Bolton, and Mary
               Virginia. Then he removed to Chicago, where he was employed
               for three years as engineer on the tugs Flossie Tilkey,
               Robbie Denham, Mosier, and T. T. Morford. Then he returned
               to Cleveland, and spent one year on the tug Helene; then
               three seasons on the tug Joe Harris, and one season on the
               government tug Spear, followed by a season on the steambarge
               Nahant, serving as engineer on the tug Enterprise during
               the season of 1896.
                  In 1888, MR. NORMAN married MISS MAY E. CAHILL, of
               Cleveland. The union has been blessed with three children:
               MABEL; JOSEPH, who died in infancy; and FLORENCE BEATRICE.
