Captains Carter. Honshetl, Leath.
ers and Summers, Four OF the
Fathers Of Sseamboating,. Al! Died
In 1906 Captain Summers Was
Aged 90.

Last month witnessed the departure
of four venerable river men, all OF
whom were pioneers and allied closely
with early steam mboating of this city.
They were Captain Frank Carter, OF
Louisville; Captain G. w, Honshell, OF
of New Orleans and Captain VIM. Sum
mers, of Gailipolis. Each individual
had his history, which he made him
self, each accomplished something
wonderful in marine circles.
There was nothing for them to follow
They built the boats and the business,
while the people on the shores were
building the cities. There were no
models for them to shape their lives
and boats after, nor millionaires to
furnish the capital Each one knew
what it was in his boyhood and youth
to toll and endure hardship. Captain
Carter was factor in esta ablishing the
famous Louisville Mail Line, that made
so many millions for its owners Cap
Big Sandy Packet Company. Captain
Leathers was originator of the Natchez
Line. Captain Summers had attained
to manhood, voted for President and
was a steamboat Captain and pilot
when some of those mentioned above
were born, yet they were spoken of as
pioneers, veterans and the very old
est" Captain Summers was really the
father of the Kanawha and Cincinnati
trade, landed his steamboats, at both
this city and Charleston when the
natural forest trees overhuug the
wharves of each and served to moor
their boats to, He saw steam naviga-
tion in its infancy and later establish
ed it on the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers
and then sought new waters to con-
quer in the greatest river of California.
where he spent quarter of century,
made and lost fortune, perhaps
the largest ever by any steam
boatman who worked on salary
AT last when the tides were fast
ebbing toward the century mark,
to complete the circle and drop the
last anchor where he first set sail, he
went back to Gallipolis, the scene of
his early trials and triumphs. The
ripples of the beautiful Ohio around
Gallipols Island were ever in his ears,
so near it with kindred dust he sleeps
in peace
