Comments: from site visitor Diane
           My great-great grandfather was a captain of a riverboat on
           the Illinois River. His name was Joe Chandler. My great
           grandmother was raised on this boat. My older relatives do
           not remember its name. I would like to find out more
           information about the Illinois River and its river boats.
           His brother, Sid Chandler was a pilot of a river boat that
           came up the Mississippi River to Quincy, Illinois and perhaps
           further. My uncle says that his boat was an excursion boat.
           I think that grandpa Chandler's boat may have hauled livestock
           and goods to the St. Louis markets. I would love to find out
           more information if anyone has any. Thanks, Diane

Name: Conn, George H.

Comments: from site visitor . . .
    Dear Dave,
    You have a wonderful site and I've only scratched the surface enough
    to see that my great-grandfather George H. Conn is missing from the
    ranks of captains. We know little about him because my grandfather
    died young and didn't talk about him much anyway. My dad remembered
    him as a flamboyant character who wore flashy jewelry and hung around
    pawnshops. He had three wives, the first of whom was an heiress from
    Toledo, and the last a former showgirl who smoked and drank. George
    was born in New Cumberland WV in 1860, but we've no information on
    where his boat operated from or its route or function. I suspect he
    was a womanizer,too; he had a fake diamond engagement ring which he
    may have used for nefarious purposes. If you should run across this
    colorful character, would you give me a holler?
    Thanks,
    Betsy (Conn) French
