"Henry Christian Haarstick (June 26, 1836 - January 26,, 1919) was an American pioneer in the Mississippi River barge transportation after the Civil War. He bought stock in the Mississippi Valley Transportation Company, the only considerable barge line on the river & eventually became the director, the vice-president and finally the general manager of the firm. The company was later consolidated with the St. Louis & New Orleans Transportation Company and Haarstick headed the board of directors. After his retirement, he became president of the St. Louis Merchant's Exchange and served as vice-president of the St. Louis Union Trust Company." - Wikipedia
