Alfred Barmore, well known as the President of the Knickerbocker Ice Company, died yesterday morning at the residence of his son-in-law, Robert Maclay, at No. 32 West Fourteenth-st., in the sixty-eighth year of his age. Mr. Barmore was born in Rockland County, New York, June 13, 1807, and came to this city when 16 years old, and was engaged in the leather business. About the time of the introduction of Croton water into the city he began the ice business upon a comparatively small scale. From this time until his death, Mr. Barmore devoted himself exclusively to the development of the ice trade. He became President of the Knickerbocker Ice Company in 1856, and has retained that position since. His funeral will take pace to-morrow morning from the residence of his son-in-law.
