Death of Captain George w. Ward of West
Haven.

will come with sorrow the news of the
death of Captain George w. Ward, who
in few months has followed to that
bourne from whence no traveller re-
turns, his brother, the late Wallace w.
Ward of West Haven. Captain Ward
was an old shipmaster and during the
many years that he followed the sea
he had many lively experiences in
storms and gales that gave him an
interesting fund of "reminiscences of life
on the deep. Captain Ward gave up
the active life of the mariner perhaps
| twenty years ago, since which time he
had been retired from active business,
though, like all old salts, he had fond
ness for the water and INDUCED in
many a sailing trip off Savin Rock in
his large sharpe in the company of
friends. The last years of his life We're
spent very pleasantly at the Sailors
| Snug Harbor, Staten Island. He often
on his visits to this city and to friends
in West Haven spoke with pleasure of
! his sojourn at Snug Harbor and had
pleasant anecdotes to relate of some
of his comrades there who, like him,
had long followed the sea. Captain
Ward was the last survivor of the
Ward brothers Israel X, who was
cashier for years of the Second Ma
| tional bank, and Wallace W., who was
general manager for many years of the
New Haven and West Haven horse
railroad and one of the founders of
that corporation. Israel X. Ward built
and resided for years in the handsome
residence at Wards Corner, West Ha-
Ven, which, after his death, was bought
ana became the home of the late Henry
sutton. The Wards We're conspicu-
Gus and prominent family of West Ha-
ven and the late w. w. Ward and his
brother Israel did much toward the up
building of the town.
The funeral services of Captain Ward
will take place this afternoon at
