                     SHE WAS A PIONEER IN THE COMMERCE
                                OF THE LAKES.
                                
                     Cleveland, February 4, - MRS. ANNA C.
                  MINCH, widow of the late CAPT. PHILIP
                  MINCH, died Friday at the family resi
                  dence, No. 80 Kinsman street.
                  
                     MRS. MINCH was over 86 years of age
                  and was in many ways the oldest person
                  connected with the lake trade both in
                  point of years and of continuous ser-
                  vice. She has been steadily engaged
                  with the commerce of the great lakes,
                  it may be said, since iron ore began
                  to be shipped from Lake Superior, and
                  though aged as she was she personally
                  watched the daily business and was
                  actively concernced in it. 
                    Two years ago she christened the
                  steamer Anna C. Minch, named after her,
                  launched from the Cleveland yards of
                  the American Shipbuilding Company.
                  Recently she placed a new order with
                  the same company for the construction
                  of a new 590-foot steamer, which is
                  now building at Lorain. MRS. MINCH was
                  thoroughly informed upon the whole lake
                  situation, and proved that she recog-
                  nized the great strides in the business
                  by giving an order for a boat of these
                  dimensions.
                    MRS. MINCH was president of the Kins-
                  man Transit Company. She was the mother
                  of MRS. HARRY STEINBRENNER, of this city.
                    The funeral services will be held from
                  her late residence, No. 80 Kinsman street,
                  Monday afternoon at 1 o'clock.
