General Notes: Husband - Captain Dean Smith Linnell



Captain Dean Smith L. was in the oyster and fishing trade for 25 years, 1862-1887.

Barnstable Patriot, 27 feb 1883
"Capt Dean S. Linnell and crew, consisting of his brother, Albert Linnell, Weston Linnell, Charles F Mayo and Walter Nickerson, all of South Orleans, went to Boston Monday, 19th, to go oystering in the new schooner Hattie D. Linnell. We had the pleasure of going on board this vessel last week, and found her to be a most beautiful as well as staunch craft, and one of which her young captain may well feel proud. Her cabin is adorned by a splendid portrait of Hattie D. Linnell, the little Miss (a niece of the Captain) for whom the vessel is named." 5


Notes: Marriage



"Dean S. Linnell, son of Dean G. and Mehitabel F. (Rogers) Linnell, grandson of Elkanah, and great-grandson of Elkanah Linnell, was born in 1846. From 1862 until 1887 he was at sea engaged in the oyster and fishing trade, being captain eighteen years. He has four brothers and sisters living: Albert, Abbie, Ida and Orissa. He married Emogene, daughter of Sidney Eldridge. Dean G. Linnell has a silver medal which was awarded him by the Massachusetts Humane Society, for services which he rendered to the wrecked ship Orissa, on the Orleans shore in 1857. Mr. Linnell's father was twice married. His first wife was Deborah Linnell, who had one child\emdash  Francis Linnell." 12
