Oliver P. Wheeler.

To THE EDITOR OF THE JoURNAL:
Noticing in last week S Journal the death of
Joseph Wheeler in Boston, an old resident
of Belfast, whom knew well, also his two
oldest children, recalls to me the death of
one of his brothers here in the "Harbor"
this last March. His room was just op-
posite mine, where l am now writing this
note. His age do not know, but he must
have been over eighty, for he was mate with
me in the old brig, "Abby Ellen," in 1871 or
70, on voyage to the island of Jamaica and
back to New York, and thought he was an
old man then, hardly fit for sea service.
