DOUGLAS, EARL STANDISH
Newsclipping of unknown origin, March 9, 1933, from Lyme Heritage Center
EARL STANDISH DOUGLAS DIES AT HOME OF NEICE
Earl Standish Douglas died at the home of his neice, Mrs. Frank Adams, Main street, Monday at 2 p.m., from the infIrmities of old age, after an immediate illness of three weeks. He had not been well for three years, having retired from being caretaker for the Adams & Duford Co. several years ago.
He was born January 10, 1854, at Pillar Point, the son of Leander and Ann Wing Douglas, his father being one of the early settlers and expert in net fishing, a trade which Mr. Douglas early learned with his father, who later removed to Point Salubrious, and followed this occupation practically all his life.
It was about the year 1875 that his father Leander Douglas and Lester Nugent discovered that smoked sturgeon brought good prices when properly smoked and was equal to the finest halibut; up to 1883, many sturgeon smoking outfits were to be seen on Chaumont Bay, and sturgeon weighing from 100 to 500 or more pounds were taken in the bays and off the shores of the points in the lake.
From 1867-1897, Leander and Earl Douglas engaged in fishing in these waters. In the year 1897 Earl went to upper Michigan and fished in Lake Superior, with head quarters at Sault Ste. Marie. It was in 1900 that a U.S. Fisheries Commissioner came to Lake Superior and sought out Mr. Douglas and there interviewed him, by appointment, at the Iroquois Hotel, in regard to the fishing business. The report of this interview may be found in the 1900 report of the Bureau of Fisheries at Washington, thus showing that the Commissioner thought Mr. Douglas an authority to quote in his findings.
Mr. Douglas quit fishing in Michigan about 1905, and returned to Chaumont in 1919 to again take up his residence among the scenes of his early boyhood.
While Chaumont was at one time considered the largest shipping point for fish – as high as 10,000 barrels of whitefish and ciscoes being taken in a year and shipped from here – many barrels were shipped from Sackets Harbor, Three Mile Bay and Cape Vincent. In fact, it was a Chaumont man, one Walter Horton, who left here and launched out for himself and was the first to ship fish from Cape Vincent, being the founder of the fishing industry in that village.
Mr. Douglas is survived by one sister, Caroline Dunham, widow of Fordyce Dunham. He is also suvived by several neices and nephews, great neices and nephews, great great neices and nephews, great great great and great great great great neices and nephew, a distinction which can be claimed by but few people.
The funeral was held from his late home on Main street Wednesday at 2:30, Rev. K.L. Huggins, pastor of the Presbyterian church, of which Mr. Douglas was a member, officiating. Interment was made in Cedar Grove cemetery.

Soon after her birth, physicians advised Mr. Douglas to reside in the country and he purchased 3,000 acres in Jefferson County and established the manor house at what became Douglas Crossing. Soon after, he erected a cheese factory there and then one at Three Mile Bay.
Miss Douglas was well educated, traveled much in Europe and in this country and during her active years was a singer, sought after to perform for different organizations.
She was a member of the St. James Episcopal church here, of the Theresa Progress club, and other organizations. When her father was president of the Watertown Standard Publishing company, and her brother, Daniel, was business manager, she did special articles for the paper, searching out interesting spots to write about.
For several years she had made her home in an apartment of the Stone home on Main street.
