DEATH OF WILLIAM L. RICH

Apoplexy Causes Demise of Former Vice President of Black, Starr & Frost

Following an illness of less than one hour, William Lathrop Rich, former vice-president and general manager for Black, Starr & Frost, jewelers, 592 Fifth Ave, New York, died suddenly last Wednesday. The death of Mr. Rich occurred at his home, 300 Park Ave., New York, and was caused by apoplexy.

Mr. Rich was 66 years old at the time of his death and had spent practically his entire life in the jewelry industry. He was regarded as a diamond expert of great ability and for a time was engaged in business as a broker. Later he became affiliated with Black, Starr & Frost as a diamond buyer, and in 1907, when the house became a corporation, Mr. Rich was made vice-president and general manager of the store. He remained with the concern until about three years ago when he retired and went into the silk business. Just before his death Mr. Rich, it was learned, formed a partnership with a diamond expert formerly engaged with a Fifth Ave. house and was to start in business immediately.

The funeral services were held at the Campbell Funeral Church, Broadway and 66th St., last Friday morning. Burial followed in Kensico Cemetery.

Mr. Rich was a member of the Sons of the Revolution of the State of New York and was also affiliated with the Society of Colonial Wars.
