There died on April 27, at Camden, N.J., in a condition of extreme poverty, Benjamin A. Starr, a man who was at one time widely known in the iron trade and throughout the country as a partner in the old firm of Jesse W. Starr and Sons, Proprietors of the Camden Iron Works, who built gas and water works in nearly every large city in the United States. The works were founded in 1821 by Moses Starr, grandfather of the deceased, who was the pioneer in gas works construction in this country. Benjamin Starr, who was born in 1830, was an active member of the concern until their failure in 1877, since which time his fortunes declined. Among the gas works built by his company were the Manhattan Gas Company's plant in New York City, the works in Boston and Brooklyn, and the great municipal gas plant in Philadelphia.
