  1. Horace Turner was lost at sea in September 1925 on the coasting schooner, NELLIE GRANT, captained by Newell Kane of Surry. Also lost was Justus Mellow, of Surry, who was only 17 and on his first journey to sea. All hands were lost.

    1. Thank you for adding this information about poor Horace and Justus. Was Newell Kane related to Athol? And did Newell perish as well?
