STARIN, John Henry:

Merchant; born Aug. 27, 1825, Sam- monsville, N. Y .; he was educated at the Esperance Academy in Schoharie County, and subsequently studied medicine; he did not, however, care to pursue the med- ical profession, and entered his brother's drug store in Fultonville as a clerk, re- maining there till 1856, when he removed to New York and ventured in business for himself in the line of medicine and toilet articles. He was early successful, building up a profitable business, but was not long so engaged before an opening for larger enterprise declared itself. The transportation of goods, which his busi- ness affairs required him to consider, was not at that time very fully developed, and the idea occurred to him of establish- ing a general freight agency in this city, as likely to prove for the convenience of shippers. He unfolded his plan to a rail- road officer. who encouraged him to pro- ceed with it. offering him the patronage of his road, one of the great trunk lines; he closed the contract, sold out his drug business, and entered upon the work of his new enterprise. The Civil War, which broke out shortly afterwards, proved serviceable to him in the estab- lishment of his business, which he quick- ly developed to such an extent that he was enable to serve the government es- sentially, providing it with transportation for troops and war material at less cost and quicker dispatch than it was able to do with its own means of carriage. By the end of the war he had built up an extensive system of railroad and steam- boat connection of the greatest value to

851

mercantile shippers, while his reputation STARRETT, Milton G .:

as a reliable business man was high; his trade connections since that period have grown to an enormous extent, he having freight lines on the North and East rivers, fleets of tugs and propellers, lighters and car boats, excursion and pleasure boats, grain boats and floating elevators, while his freight connections extend to all the railroads that come to the rivers surrounding New York, and his dry-docks, freighting depots, and offices are widely distributed along the wharf region of the city. Politically he has always been an earnest republican and has frequently held public positions; from 1848 to 1852, during his early residence at Fultonville, he was postmaster of that place; in 1876 he ran for Congress as representative from the Twentieth Dis- trict of New York, and was elected; in 1878 he ran again and was returned by a large plurality vote; at the end of this term a third nomination was offered him but he declined to run again, saying that he favored rotation in office, and saw no reason why he should hold the office con- tinually to the detriment of others equal- ly deserving of it. He has been a mem- ber of the New York Chamber of Com- merce since 1874, and in 1880 was made president, upon the death of Horatio Seymour, of the Saratoga Monument As- sociation, to provide a fitting memorial of the battle that practically decided the result of the war of the Rebellion; in this enterprise he worked energtically, secured for it an appropriation of $30,000 from Congress, added a liberal donation of his own, and induced others to sub- scribe; as a result of his efforts the memorial has been erected; he belongs to many clubs and societies, and is a trus- tee of Union College. Address, 9 West 38th St., N. Y. City.
