resides on his well-improved farm in section 4, township 33,
range 35, Cherry county. He has always done his full share in
the upbuilding of the community in which he lives, and is
highly esteemed as a man of sterling character and strict

Mr. Starr was born in Vernon county, Wisconsin, June 4.
1866. His father, Comfort Starr, was a farmer by occupation,
and one of the pioneers of eastern Nebraska. He drove in this
state with a team and covered wagon containing his household
goods, in 1876, locating in Butler county, where his death
occurred in the fall of 1878. Our subject settled in Cherry
county in 1887 and remained there up to the early spring of
1908, when he moved to Mt. Vernon, Washington. He had nothing
to start with, and took up a homestead on Niobrara river, his
first building being a log shack. He got a team of bulls and
began to break up his farm, batching it for the first two
years. He gradually built up his place and proved up on it, and
then moved down on the river bank. After getting started he
added to his acreage, and now has a ranch of six hundred and
eighty acres, one hundred of which is cultivated. He has good
buildings, plenty of water, and has made a fine place of it. He
has seen many hard times, and often became discouraged during
the drouth periods and other failures of crops.
Mr. Starr was married in 1890 to Miss Hattie Maybee,
daughter of William Maybee, a pioneer in Holt and Cherry
counties. Mr. and Mrs. Starr have a family of seven children,
named as follows: William, May, Louie, Roy; Laura, Murray and
Cora.
Politically Mr. Starr is a stanch Republican, and has held
numerous local offices, and was serving as justice of the peace
at the time of his removal to the coast. He is always active in
affairs of interest to his community, and lends his time and
influence to the betterment of home conditions. Mr. Starr has
always been an enthusiastic huntsman, and has been all over
this part of the country and the reservations in South Dakota,
camping out for weeks at a time, and has brought down some fine
specimens of game of all kinds.
