Mr. Starr believed in handling sheep for a profit and he had on hand from time to time thousands of these animals and since he moved to this city he bought large consignments of sheep for himself and others and many of our farmers have prospered by the advice given them by Mr. Starr, not only as to the manner of handling sheep but farming in general.
Mr. Starr believed in handling farm in 1909 and moved to this city. For the past several years he has spent the summers in California.
He was a strict member of the Methodist Church and lived up to the Golden Rule scrupulously honest in every transaction and demanding the same in others. His word was as good as his bond.
In the death of James H. Starr, Centralia has lost a loyal citizen, and his friends a tried and true companion.
He leaves one son, Chester G. Starr, of Bloomington, ILL., one twin brother, W.B. Starr, of California and other relatives and a host of friends to mourn his passing.
The Courier joins the entire community in extending profound sympathy to the sorrowing one.
