         CAPT. WILSON VANCE
         
         The Green Bay Advocate pays this tribute to the late
       CAPT. WILSON VANCE. "The death of CAPT. WILSON VANCE is
       announced as having taken place at Denver, Col, on the
       10th inst. He had been a confirmed invalid for some time
       past, and had gone to Colorado in the almost forlorn 
       hope of regaining his health. CAPT. VANCE was for years
       one of our favorite bay captains. He began here with the
       steamer Sarah Van Epps, on the Escanaba and Green Bay
       route, and was thence transferred to the propeller Wash-
       ington, a steamer brought from the ocean here and placed
       on the same route. He afterwards commanded the propeller
       Bartschy, in the ore trade between Depere and Escanaba.
       His health gradually failed, and he was finally quite
       prostrated by the death of his young wife, something 
       more than a year ago. He went to Florida, and thence to
       Colorado, seeking help, and now has succumbed to his
       fate. He was a genial, companionable man, and an effi-
       cient seaman, and beloved by all who knew him.
       
       [Transcriber's Note: Capt. Wilson Vance and his wife,
       Lina, are both interred at Forest Home Cemetery, 
       Milwaukee, WI.]
