ONE OF PERRY's CREW,
Death OF a Man Who Served
Fifty Years in The
u. S. Navy.

John Queyedo, for fifty years in
continuous service In the United
States Navy, died at his home in
Brooklyn. on Friday last. Funeral
services were held at his residence
Sunday night. At his request the
body was wrapped in an American
flag and the room in which the ser
vices were held were decorated with
the national colors.
John Quevedo was born on the Is
land of Minorca, in the Mediterranean,
under Spanish rule, in 1887. When
very young he was brought to this
country by his parents. In 1850 lie
was an apprentice in the United States
Navy and was part of the crew that
made the cruise with Commodore
Perry TO China and Japan. He was a
gunner on the Brooklyn during the
Civil War, where he distinguished
himself
In 1884, when Commodore SchIey
and Lieutenant Emery made up their
crews for the search for Lieutenant
Greedy in the Arctic regions. Quevedo
was chosen and went with them.
Operti's famous picture, now in Wash
ington, depicting the rescue kof Lieu
tenant Greedy at Cape Sabine, shows
Quevedo carrying one end OF the
streteher on which lay the sick form
of Greedy.
His love for the flag of his adopted
country was almost a mania with
him. For the last eight years he had
been storekeeper in the navy yard
in Brooklyn. His son. John. Jr., is
also gunner in the United States
Navy, now attached Co the training
ship Hancock. The dead man was a
member OF Rankin Post, q. A. r.,
and Brooklyn Volunteer Firemen's
Association.

GIVE 1T YOUR CARE.
Keep The Fire Plugs Clear of
Snow And Ice These
Cold Days.

Every Citizen who has a fire plug in
front of his residence should make it
his first duty to shovel it clear and
clean of snow and make pathway to
it. so that it can be easily approached
by firemen.
As a rule the last thing household
er thinks of is to clear away the snow
around the ire plug in front OF his
residence. and vet it should be the
very first thing 90 be done.
At a fire every moment counts and
when q plug is concealed under a
mass of snow and ice and from 10 to
is minutes have to be spent in search
ing for it and cleaning away the snow,
il may mean the destruction of that
margin which stands for the salvation
or destruction of building.
Therefore, do some strenuous snow
snoveling around your fire plug.
