Starr, John Walcott

Starr, John Walcott, a Congregational minister, was born at Guilford, Conn., March 9, 1848. He graduated at Yale College in 1871, and at the New Haven Theological Seminary in 1873. Soon after graduation he engaged in missionary labor in the town of Stratton, and in the following year he went to the town of Sleepy Eye, Minn. He accepted an invitation from the Home Missionary Society of New Hampshire to preach in West Stewartstown. He was ordained to this work June 18, 1875. His labors were of a short period, and he was early called to his reward. Young, and his life full of promise of great usefulness to the Church, he was called to labor in a higher sphere. He died in 1875. (W.P.S.)
