Thomas Kaine/Kane

Found another one not from this area but is buried at Manitowoc, WI

SAILOR DROWNED
George Schipper, a guard at the Shipbuilding company’s yard reported to the police
last Saturday that there was a body of a man in the river above the second Soo
bridge. The body was recovered and bore evidence of having been in the water for
weeks. A card in a pocket evidenced the discharge of Thomas Kaine(sic) from the
steamer James Laughlin which was at the nearby Reis dock on May 5, the man having
shipped at Buffalo on April 25. The sum of $11.65 was also found in the pockets.
Through the services of the Lake Carriers’ Welfare association at Buffalo, a sister
was located at Syracuse, N.Y. A record of tattoo marks on the body makes
identification as Thomas Kaine positive. The body has not been claimed.
