Cincinnati, Ohio. HARRY DOSS. Veteran river pilot dies. Harry Doss, 86, who piloted steam boats on the Ohio and Mississippi rivers for 63 years, died today at his home here. Doss, long familiar to persons who traveled up and down the river by boat was a particular favorite of children, many of them now grown, because he would let them watch from behind the pilot's wheel. During his career he piloted such boats as the "Island Queen," the "John K. Stead," the "J.B Finley," and the "Green ____," all of them long-since gone from river traffic. "I started on the river when I was 16," Doss once said. "They tried to send me to high school but I went in one door and out the other and turned right to the river." He was the third member of his family in four generations that served as a riverboat pilot. The only survivor, Sylvester A. Doss, a son, who learned to pilot a boat under his father's instructions, is now a congressman. -------------------------------- End of OH-FOOTSTEPS-D Digest V01 Issue #110 *******************************************
