IRONWOOD DAILY GLOBE November 30, 1919
IDENTIFY TWO OF THE FIVE BODIES
Victims of Myron Disaster Picked Up on Sheeting of Ice
TWO VICTIMS UNKNOWN
Sault Ste. Marie, Nov. 29. - Three of the five bodies of the members of the 
lost steamer, Myron, which were found encased in ice near Whtiefish Point and 
brought to shore yesterday, were identified today as follows:  
First Mate William Lyons of Marine City, Mich.
Second Engineer Louis Bastion of Saginaw, Mich.
Michael Shea, Ordinary Seaman of Tonawanda, N.Y.

The unidentified bodies are those of a man about forty years old with black 
hair and a gray mustache and tattooed arms and body, and a man about 23 years 
old in whose clothing were found a cigar cutter bearing the initials "E.R.D."

The barometer dropped to an unusual degree today and there is a heavy snow and 
sleet storm raging which makes the weather on Lake Superior intolerable and 
hampers further search for the bodies of the lost steamer.
