                             OBITUARY
                             --------
                             
                CAPTAIN STEPHEN LAMPOH, master of the
             propeller Henry Chishom, who has sailed
             the lakes since his boyhood, was called by
             death just as his steamer, under the charge
             of CAPTAIN JUDSON, was entering this harbor.
             CAPTAIN LAMPOH, in the capacity of sailor
             and master, had few superiors and during
             his sailor life has continued in the employ
             of Mr. A. BRADLEY, from the office of cook,
             at the age of 20 years, until the age of 52
             years he has, by regular promotion, been
             placed in command of one of the finest of
             Mr. BRADLEY'S fleet, the propeller Henry
             Chisholm, the charge of which he assumed
             during the opening of navigation this year.
             During the past two seasons he sailed the
             Selah Chamberlain, and, prior to that time
             the C. J. Roeder, S. H. Kimball, Escanaba,
             Negaunee, Ahira Cobb, A. Bradley, and the
             Superior, and during this entire number of
             years he has given the utmost satisfaction
             as a master of tact and a man of business,
             one who knew how to turn the business of
             the moment to the best account.  Never having
             had a mishap of any consequence, he succeeded
             in winning the confidence of the owners of 
             his boats, and on one occassion, perhaps the
             only evidence of favoritism that has been
             offered by CAPTAIN BRADLEY to any of the
             masters of his fleat, CAPTAIN LAMPOH was the
             recipient of a fine present for having taken
             his vessel into Milwaukee after she lost her
             fore and mainsails in a gale when the pro-
             peller which had him in tow ran on to Chi-
             cago.  CAPTAIN LAMPOH leaves a wife and two
             children by a second marriage, and there are
             three children, one son and two daughters,
             by a first marriage.  CAPTAIN JOSEPH LAMPOH,
             his eldest son, is now master of the schooner
             David Wagstaff, and like his father, has
             sailed much of the time since boyhood.  The
             father leaves considerable property, and
             until the last two or three years has owned
             a farm at Bennett's corners, this county,
             whence he moved to Cleveland early in the
             spring.  His death was occasioned by inflam-
             mation of the bowels, which he contracted
             while in Chicago, but being a man of posi-
             tive nature, he insisted on going to Escanaba
             with his vessel, and he was apparently so 
             much improved in health that all entertained
             hopes of his recovery up to 3 o'clock Tuesday
             morning, but shortly thereafter he was taken
             worse, and continued to fail, until, as has
             been said, he lost his hold on life just as
             the Chisholm came within the piers at 8 o'clock.
             He was taken from the ship about 11 o'clock to
             his home at 21 Fulton street, on the West Side.
             From this residence his funeral takes place
             this afternoon at 3 o'clock.
