If you are talking about a riverboat St. Cloud, it would be Way's #4920 - a sidewheeler built in 1846 in Wheeling WVA. It was used in the Cincinnati-New Orleans trade. Her Captain died of cholera in 1848. The boat was taken off the active list in 1853. As for the other info about boat owners, death, etc. your best source is our ace Inland Rivers Library guru, M'lissa Kesterman. If you're talking river info and there is any available, she'd have it or know where to find it. Email M'lissa at: rarebooks@cincinnatilibrary.org ....................
