Biographical notes:
The Orson Starr family moved from N.Y. (State) to Royal Oak (Mich.) in 1831, to engage in the manufacturing of cowbells. A son, Almon, later established a brick manufacturing firm. His son, Edwin (1854-1929) became a florist and seed experimenter. He married Mary Salisbury, with whom he had eight children: Minnie, George, Elon, John, William, Clara Ellen, Rhoda, Arthur, and Allen. All of Edwin's daughters became professional educators. Edwin later married Carrie Bingham. Nancy A. Quick married into the family. (Information from Royal Oak, our living legend, and Portrait and biographical album of Oakland County, Mich.).
