HENRY S. STARK
VERONA, Feb. 22 - Henry S. Stark, who died in Oneida on Tuesday last, was born in Verona in 1821, and was educated in the public school here. He began life as a boatman on the Erie Canal and followed this occupation from his eighteenth to his thirty-second year. Then he turned his attention to boat building at New London and engaged in it quite extensively for many years, building in all as many as 100 boats. He also went into the wood business, and sold wood to the salt works at Syracuse to be used as fuel, as long as the wood supply held out, and until coal was adopted. He owned a farm at Verona since 1847, and engaged in farming more or less. In 1872-3 he was superintendent of this division of the Erie Canal, which then extended from Oneida Lake canal to Frankfort. He was probably sent as a delegate to Republican State conventions oftener than and other man in the county. For 15 or 16 years, he represented the Verona Landing cheese factory on the Utica board of trade as salesman. In this capacity, he was very successful and had few equals. He was much respected and esteemed. Besides his children, a sister, Mrs. A. A. Jackson, of Buffalo, and a brother, J. H. Stark, of Higginsville, survive. The funeral occurs today at his late residence in Oneida. The remains will be interred in Grove Cemetery.
