A NATIVE OF CONNECTICUT Started Life it, Captain'd Hoy In tile Hast, Caine South aud Did M it ell For This Scot ion, K,tnblisliii.g Hail* roads, Steamship Lines, Etc, New York, June 24 — Henry B Plant, president of the famous Plant system of railways, steamships aud ho tels, and of the Southern Express com pany, died yesterday at his home on HENRY n. PLANT. Fifth avenue. The immediate cause of his death was heart failure, brought on by a general state of debility. No one was with him at the last hour but bis wife aud family physician. His only child, Mr Morton F. Plant, was on his private yacht off the coast of New Jer sey and does net yet know of his father’s death. Mr. Plant had not been well since last November, when on returning from a trip to Florida he was suddenly seized in his private car in the Jersey City railway station here. His life was despaired of, but he revived and went back to Florida, where he has been able to attend to his various business inter ests during the winter season His death was so sudden as to have sur prised even those closest to him. Henry Bradley Plant was a native of Connecticut, being born at Branford on Oct.27,1819. With only a common school education he began the battle of life. His first position was that of a captain’s boy on a steamboat line between New York and Now Haven. In ISod he came south, locating at Jacksonville, Fla., and connected him self with the Adams Express company. Ho finally organized the Southern Ex press company and was elected its first president. Afte* the war Mr. Plant continued with the express company ami was again and again elected its president, never being out of that office from the time of its creation up to the time of his death. In the latter seventies and early eighties Mr. Plant made two or three trips to Europe, and it was while ou one of these trips that he conceived the idea of building palace steamers for his lines. How he curried out those plans iho thousands who haxe ridden ou his steam- ears know well enough. After the war, along with his steam boat lines, Mr. Plant projected a system of roads which today reach far aud wide. Ali Florida is touched by some of his lines, cither a branch or a main stem tapping sectu nsof the entire state. Mr. Plant went on the theory that the workmen were entitled to share in the benefits of ids labors and the mag nificent hospitals and the libraries that mark stations in his territory show the care and attention he gave those who worked for him.
