STARR, M. Was born in Canada West, July 6, 1835, where he spent his early youth in assisting his father in the
flour mill. When young Starr was about eighteen years of age he, with his parents, moved to Wisconsin. Here they
remained five years, when he moved to Iowa. At the end of another five years Mr. Starr came to California, arriving
in August, 1861, having crossed the plains with horse teams. He conducted a mill at Petaluma for the first four
years, and then went to San Francisco, where he resided for three years, being engaged in dealing in hay and grain.
In 1868 he erected and put in operation a flour mill at Oakland, which he conducted until 1871. He then went to
Livermore Valley, where he conducted a mill for eighteen months. Thence he went to Santa Rosa, where he was engineer
in the "City Mills" for the same length of time. In 1875 he came to Lake County and purchased the Lakeport
Mill, which he has since conducted. He was married, June 11, 1856, to Miss Nancy A. Weatherbee, a native of Indiana.
They have lost one child, William.
