OBITUARY. Died. in Chicago, ILL.,, April
18th. Edward Leroy Colson. Capt. Colson
was born in Searsport, Oct. 20, 1850, and
with his sister Henrietta, who survives
him, were the only children OF the late
Ephraim and Martha Ann jackson Colson,
both of whom died in the early sixties.
Capt. Colson began going to sea when quite
young, first with Capt. David Nickels and
later with many of Searsport's foremost
master mariners. By his upright and reg
ular conduct he soon merited promotion
which he received and the captain who Sc
cured his services as first officer was con-
sidered fortunate. His first command was
the bark Clara in which vessel he remained
until he entered the Pacific trade, when he
took the bark Wildwood. Capt. Colson af-
terwards went to the Great Lakes, where
he followed his profession and commanded
some of the largest vessels there. Funeral
services were held at his home in Chicago.
