Comments: From site visitor - "I need information on Philomena Daniels
          who operated steamboats on Lake Champlain around 1900.  I need
          to know how old she was when she got her license was she 17,
          29, 35, or 42. I also would like to know what her boats were
          named for: her children, the muses, men, or her dogs.
          Thank you for any help you can give me.

    In the 1880 Census (Wheeling, Ohio Co.), there appears David Davis and 
    family, to wit:

Don's Comments: Something must have happened to Mr. Davis and his family
                in 1880 because both of his daughters, Birdie and Mary E.,
                are shown elsewhere in this same census as residents of
                St. Vincent Orphan Asylum.

               Partial Obituary From The National Democrat
              Aug. 6, 1874, Jeffersonville Indiana:
              
       "Death of Captain Dittman Our
       special from ...the sad news of the death of Capt. Charles H.
       Dittman on the steamer Pat Rogers this morning. The...does
       not state whether he was burned or drowned. Capt. Dittman is
       well known in Jeffersonville, having lived here for about
       twenty years. About three years ago he moved to Boston, Kentucky,
       where his family how resides. It is hardly necessary to speak
       of Capt. Dittman's characteristics, for he was well known and
       beloved by everybody without a solitary exception, to our
       knowledge. The deceased has been running on the mail-line for
       years, having commenced the business as a cabin boy. At one
       time he was captian of the steamer Jacob Strader, but resigned
       to accept the postition of pilot.
