ALLEGAN COUNTY .1
BY DONALD C. HENDERSON.
CAPT. HENRY STARK.
This well-known citizen died in Otsego Thursday, April 30, 1885, of a complication of diseases, chief of which was chronic diarrhoea, contracted in the army, from which he had suffered extremely since the war. Captain Stark was in the regular army over forty-five years ago, was stationed at Fort Dearborn (Chicago) when that place was a small burg, and took part in the Black Hawk war. In the Union army he commanded Company G, Sixth Michigan infantry, afterwards artillery.
