"The Schooner Josephine Horn - We have neglected to notice this trim and fast sailing vessel now playing between this port and Milwaukee. She was built this season at Neshoto by Jasper Hanson, a capital mechanic, for our enterprising fellow-townsman, Wm. H. Horn, for his own exclusive use in the shipment of his purchases of wheat and other products of our county. We wish success to all such enterprise."

"Casualty Lists: Josephine Horn schooner had her foremast carried away on Lake Michigan. Property loss $500."
March 1, 1867 - Manitowoc Pilot
"The schooner Josephine Horn, of this port, has been sold by Mf. Wm. H. Horn to parties in Milwaukee for $2,500."
Also, an obvious mistake... Clay Banks, is in WI, WI is not contiguous with Lake Erie!
