PORTER, Elizabeth, nee McUrry
1856-1929
From Lorain newspaper Dec 4, 1929
Mrs. Elizabeth Porter, widow of the late Captain Julian "Dick" Porter and pioneer resident of Lorain for nearly half a century, died at her home, 1144 West Erie Ave early today following an illness of four months. Mrs. Porter, in 1890, was married to Captain Porter, who was born in Lorain in 1844. The marriage took place in Detroit, the couple moving to Lorain where they occupied the same house on West Erie Ave for nearly 50 years. Captain Porter achieved a reputation as a daring lake skipper in the days when sailing vessels ruled the lakes. His last charge was the "Three Brothers" which he owned. It was one of the last and most famous vessels on the lakes. On many occasions, Mrs. Porter sailed the lakes with her husband and her knowledge of navigation was as great as many a sailor. On at least two occasions, she narrowly escaped death during violent stors on the lakes. It is recalled of Captain Porter that he had little use for steam vessels, clinging to sails until he retired to become harbormaster here, a position he held up until the time of his death. Mrs. Porter was a pioneer member of St. Mary Church. She was also affiliated with L.C.B.A. No 615; AOH auxiliary, No. 2 and the Lorain Sisterhood. Surviving are five daughters. They are, Miss Mary E. Porter; Mrs. E.P. Reidy, Mrs. T. A. Peets, Mrs. A. J. Ginnane, and Mrs. Clarence P. Brown, all of Lorain. Nine grandchildren also survive. The body will be at the home of Mrs. Porter's daughter, Mrs. E. P. Reidy, 1156 8th Street. Funeral arrangements, under the direction of Reichlin, Reidy Scanlan, will be announced tomorrow.
