SEAVER, Town Clerk. Batavia, Aug. 28, 1865. Another Pioneer Gone. Died, at his residence, in Pavilion, in this County, on the 27th of August, Noah STARR, aged 83 years. The subject of this notice was born near the close of the Revolutionary war, in the town of Danbury, Connecticut, about the time when that town was burned by the British, whence his father's family was driven on that occasion. The relation of this incident in his early childhood by his mother, naturally fostered a feeling of prejudice against that nation in his youthful mind, imbibing at the same time a friendly regard for France, the then great ally of our struggling America. Hence his soul was fashioned in the mould of Democracy when that mould was bright and new during the golden age of tried patriotism. Educated in such a school, no wonder that he remained an ardent lover of Democracy and his Country during the later period of his life. No wonder that he was a Volunteer in the American lines at Fort George, and commanding a Company in the service of his country in the war of 1812. At the close of the war he settled in the town of Wolcott, Wayne Co., in this State, where he remained until the year 1818, when he removed to Pavilion, in this County, where he bought a farm, when he married and reared a family of fourteen children. In the course of time he was blessed with as superabundance of this world's goods, when he settled several of his sons at the West, all of whom are now in prosperous circumstances. The sons, like the father, are all Democrats and fervent lovers of their Country. In the year 1856, a most remarkable incident occurred, the aged father and ten of his sons went to the polls and voted for the principles they had imbibed from childhood and never deserted or betrayed. In the spring of 1825, he was made a Free Mason and continued a faithful member of the Order until the day of his death at which time he was a member of "Olive Branch Lodge," of Le Roy. He was interred with full Masonic honors, and his funeral was one of the largest we have witnessed for some time. being one of the early settlers of this section of Country, and possessed of an amiable and kind disposition he had hosts of friends who deeply deplore his death. submitted by Linda Schmidt *********************************************
