Death Of W. H. Starbuck
New York, March 30.—William H. Starbuck died at his residence in this city yesterday from an attack of heart trouble. He was sixty-nine years old, and started business in life as a clerk in Boston, in 1851. Three years later he came to New York, and in connection with J. Nelson Tappan, formerly city chamberlain, established the firm of Starbuck & Tappan, commission merchants.
In 1862 he started in business for himself and became a large shipowner.
In 1879 he became associated with Henry Villard in connection with the Oregon Navigation and Railway Company, and the completion of Northern Pacific Railroad.
In 1888 he became president of the Housatonic Railroad, which position he held until 1892, being also a director in the New York and New England Road. In that year he took the Oregon Improvement Company out of a receiver’s hands and became its president, which position he held until last June, when he retired from active business life. He leaves a widow and two sons.
