H. B. PLANT DIES SUDDENLY
The Great Railway and Steamship Magnate
Succumbs To Heart Failure.
DEATH OCCURS IN NEW YORK AND WAS UNEXPECTED
Accomplished a Great Work For the South, Wherein
He Found a New and Large Field.
Henry B. Plant, president of the
famous Plant system of railways,
steamships and hotels, and of the
Southern Express Company, died Fri
day afternoon at his home on Fifth
avenue, New York, at 2:45 o’clock.
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 his wife aud
family physician.
Mr. Plant had complained of feeling
ill the day before, but went to his
office at 12 West Twenty-third street,
and attended to business with his ac
customed interest and alertness. In
the evening several friends called on
him and he chatted with them in his
usual good-humored way. During the
night, however, he was taken sick aud
his physician Mas called. Dr. Durant
staid with him to the end, Friday af
ternoon, as did also Mr. G. H. Tilley,
secretary and treasurer of the South
ern Express Company. His only child,
Mr. Morgan F. Plant, was not present,
being on a pleasure trip on his private
yacht off the coast of New Jersey.
HENRY . PLANT.
Head of the Great System of Railroads
Which Rear His Name, Who Dlod
Suddenly in New York.
Mr. Plant had not been sick since
last November, M-hen, on returning
from a trip from Florida, he Mas sud
denly seized iu his private car in the
Jersey City railM-ny station at M-hicli
time his life Mas depaired of, but
he revived aud went back to Florida,
where he has been able to attend to
his various business interests during
the M’inter season. His death Mas so
sudden as to have surprised even
those closest to him.
Itrief Sketch of Ilia Life.
Mr. Plant M-as a native of Connecti
cut, and was born at Branford on
October 27th, 1819. He came of a
long line of Puritan ancestors, and
among the forefathers Mere men Mho
fought for the independence ®f the
country in M-hich they all became fac
tors more or less prominent during
their days.
His ancestry came from England in
1G39, and nearly everyone occupied
Borne position of honor and trust. On
his grandmother’s side he was descend
ed from Joseph Frisbee, wno was a
major in Washington’s army, the same
family that gave Harvard its profes
sor, Levi Frisbee. Through the Fris
bees he M as related to Sir William Pep
pered, Bart, and the same strain gave
him a kinship M-ith the late Sen
ator Hoar, Mhose middle name was
Frisbee. Like the maternal side of
his house, Mr. Plant’s paternal ances
try figured prominently M-herever they
M ere knoM-u.
For over two hundred years the
riants resided at Branford, and on the
lauds which were given them by the
crown their descendants still reside,
and all, like the late railroad king, are
men prominent in the section of the
country in Mhich they reside. Mr.
Plaut’s father died while he was quite
young, aud at the time of that death
Mr. Plant Mas himself quite ill, so ill
that he M-as not informed of his father’s
death uutil several days after it oc
curred.
Why He Came South.
In 1853 Mrs. Plant M-as seized with
congestion of the lungs, aud the fami
ly physicians ordered that she be taken
to Florida; and this wa3 the inception
of Mr. Plant’s connection with the
south and the M-ork he has accomplish
ed in this section. In March, 1853,he
left New York M-ith his invalid wife on
a steamer, and after touching at Char
leston aud Savannah, landed at Jack
sonville. At that time the Florida
metropolis Mas made up of a dozen
huts, and Mr. Plant found it hard
M'ork to secure accommodations for
Mrs. Plant.
The day after reaching Jacksonville
Mr. Plant secured a home with a Flor
idian six miles from Jacksonville, and
during the winter Mrs. Plant’s health
improved so much that ha M T as able to
return north with her the next spring.
But during that time Mr. Plant had
found the great health-giving qualities
there were in the climate of the Pe
ninsula State, and within less than a
year he had again invaded the state
and made some investments, which
iater turned out to have been judi
cious.
About this time the Adams Express
company was more fully organized
in the east, with some of the leading
capitalists of that section as stock
holders, and Mr. Plant had a connec
tion with the company. On his trips
south he found anew and large field
for the work of the company, and in a
short time had extended the business
over the lines into many southern
cities, where ah express company’s
work had never been heard of. The
leading cities of the south were brought
into the territory of the Adams Ex
press company, and no more profitable
territory was to be found thfta that
discovered by Mr. Plant.
The entire southern field was under
his direction, and when the civil war
came on the directors of tne company
decided to dispose of the southern ter
ritory, believing that the work of
transmitting valuables and packages
could not be carried on M-ith safety.
Then it was that Mr. Plant sliOM-ed his
great and unlimited faith in this sec
tion and the people of it. He knew
the character of the people among
whom he had cast his lot, and as soon
as the old company M as out of the M ay
he organized the Southern Express
Company and was elected its first
president.
During his residence in the south he
had won the confidence, esteem and
respect of all, and none M-ere slow to
come to his support in the new enter
prise, notM-ithstanding the fact that
it was generally knoM-n thatMr. Plant’s
sympathies were against secession. In
a short time after the new company
M r as formed the seat of the Confederate
government was at Montgomery, and
there President Davis and his cabinet
were located. M. Plant Mas aIM-ays
open and frank. There was nothing
of the deceptive nature him, and be
fore entering upon the duties of a pub
lic carrier in the new government he
decided to let the head of that govern
ment and his advisers know just where
he stood.
By an attorney he presented his
views and ideas to President Davis in
the presence of the entire Confederate
cabinet. Mr. Plant was known to
each of the gentlemen personally or
by reputation, and when his position
had been defined he Mas told to go
ahead with the work, and that the
government had every confidence in
his honesty and integrity.
After the war Mr. Plant continued
the express company and 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 later seventies and early
eighties Mr. Plant made two or three
trips to Europe, and it was while on
one of these trips that he conceived
the idea of building palace steamers
for his lines. How he carried out
those plans the thousands who have
ridden on his steamers know w r ell
enough.
Along with his steamboat lines, Mr.
Plant projected a system of railroads
M’hcih today reach far and M’ide. All
Florida is touched by some of his
lines, either a branch or a main stem
tapping sections of the entire state.
Few roads are better equipped and
feM’ employes find themselves so n-ell
cared for as those on the Plant system.
It was not until 1879 that Mr. Plant
became interested in Florida railroads
and laid the foundation of the great
system bearing his name. The first
railroads purchased by him were the
Atlantio & Gulf, now knoM-n as the
Savannah, Florida and Western, and
the Charleston and Savannah.
Since then many lines have been ac
quired and numerous connecting links
constructed, now all embraced in the
corporation chartered by the leg
islature of Connecticut as the Plant In
vestment Company. Supplementing
the railroad properties are several
steamship lines, the most important of
M-hich is that running from Tampa and
Key West to Havana, Mhich has been
in operation since 1884.
