A.N. Bastable, Head of Union Abattoir Co., Dies in Baltimore.
Baltimore, Md., March 28 — Alvin N. Bastable, president of the Union Abattoir Company, died this afternoon.
Mr. Bastable was born in West Virginia, but came to Baltimore when a boy and became a clerk in a dry goods store.
Later he went to Kansas, where he entered the Union army when the civil war broke out and participated in a number of engagements.
After the war, he returned to Baltimore and engaged in the meat business, eventually becoming president of the Calverton Abattoir Company, which afterward merged with the Union company. He also organized the stockyards company at Benning.
Mr. Bastable was active in church and philanthropic work.
NOTE: In the early 1880s, Alvin N. Bastable (1837-1922), a Virginia native had begun concentrating all of Baltimore's livestock business. In 1887, Bastable along with Philadelphia stockyards owner and meat packer Joseph Martin (Samuel Allerton's partner in the Philadelphia and Jersey City Stockyards and an owner of the Baltimore Union Stock Yards) and Clark, received a corporate charter from the State of New Jersey for the "Union Stock Yard Company" to build and run a fully integrated stockyards and slaughterhouse business in the District of Columbia. One year later, the Union Stockyards opened next to the B&O and Pennsylvania Railroad tracks south of Benning Road on the east side of the Anacostia River.
