Death of Captain James Dean

Captain James Dean, the veteran pilot, died quite suddenly at his home on The 
Ridge on Thursday night last between eleven and twelve o'clock, of apoplexy.  
Captain Dean was in the city on Thursday apparently in good health but in the 
evening he complained of a slight headache.  Captain Dean was one of the 
oldest pilots on the southern coast and up to a few years ago was actively 
engaged as a pilot on our bars.  Among the pilots he was known as "the 
commodore"  Capt Dean was 73 years old.  He had been living here for a great 
many years and was highly esteemed and liked by everyone.  He was a good 
citizen and he will be greatly missed by all classes.  Capt. Dean leaves two 
sons and a daughter, Capts. Matthew J. Dean and Frank J. Dean and Mrs. Belle 
Lucas, and to them we extend our sincere sympathies in their affliction.  The 
funeral took place at half-past three o'clock on yesterday afternoon at the 
Catholic Church at The Ridge, the Rev. Father Lucke officiating.  The remains 
were interred at the city cemetery.  The following gentlemen acted as 
pallbearers: Mess. Arthur Bailey, E.B. Thompson, G.T. Stein, W.G. Crumley.

Additional Comments:
Captain James Dean's wife, Mary Anne (Doyle) had died at the Ridge June 28, 
1888.  She was the daughter of Matthew and Sarah (Carroll) Doyle and had been 
born in Ireland about 1839.
