                             OBITUARY
                             --------
                             
                CAPTAIN T. W. STEEL, a former resident of
             Cleveland, died suddenly in Chicago on Sunday
             last, and his remains were brought to this city
             for burial in Woodland avenue cemetery.  The
             funeral, which took place on Wednesday, was
             conducted by the Oriental Commandery, Knights
             Templar, of which ancient and honorable body
             CAPTAIN STEEL had long been a brother.  CAPTAIN
             STEEL, who was about 62 years of age, was a
             well known and popular lake captain, and was
             master of the propeller, New England, of the
             People's line, in 1851, plying between Detroit,
             Cleveland and Sandusky.  He brought out the
             Galena, built by L. MOSES, in 1857, under the
             management of SHELDEN PEAS, of the Central 
             Line of Buffalo, after which he retired from
             the lakes and moved to Chicago about 1862, 
             where he was soon appointed harbor master,
             which position he filled to the satisfaction
             of all for seven years.  Up to the time of
             his death CAPTAIN STEEL had the confidence
             and respect of all who knew him, and his
             death will be much regretted.
