Capt. J. A. Trimble died at Cedar Falls on Friday last. In the old times when the Cedar river was navigable he built the first boat, a steamer, and ran it, doing service with it. After the waters became shallow in places the steamer was used for excursion purposes only, and quite a good business was carried on during the summer seasons.
