Mr. Joughin died yesterday at the Barnert Memorial Hospital. Born in Liverpool, England, he lived in Paterson about 35 years. He went to sea at the age of 11, and later became chief baker on various steamships.
He was aboard the Titanic when it sank on its maiden voyage in April, 1912, after ramming an iceberg. He also was on the SS Oregon when it went to the bottom in Boston Harbor a number of years ago. Before retiring 12 years ago, he served on ships operated by the American Export Lines, as well as on World War II troop transports.
His wife, Mrs. Nellie Ripley Joughin, died in 1943.
He leaves a daughter, Miss Agnes Joughin, of Liverpool, a stepdaughter, Mrs. Henry (Rose) Stoehr, of Paterson, and nieces and nephews.
