Nb. OBITUARY The Times (London), 10 August 1906 The death occurred on Monday evening, at his residence, Holmstead,
Mossley Hill, Liverpool, of Mr. WILLIAM IMRIE, who was prominently associated with the late Mr. Thomas Ismay in building up the White Star Line. Mr. Imrie joined Mr. Ismay in 1870, and the firm then became Ismay, Imrie, and Co., the name it bears today. Previously Mr. Imrie was largely interested in sailing vessels trading to the East, and on becoming associated with the White Star Line he took over the entire management of that firm's sailing ship department. He was also chairman of the Asiatic Steam Navigation Company. He retired from business in 1902. Mr. Imrie could never be prevailed upon to take any active part in public affairs, but he was a prominent member of St. Margaret's Church, Prince's-road, and was a liberal supporter of all institutions connected with the Church. His benefactions were of a varied and liberal character. He was born at Bootle, near Liverpool, and was 69 years of age.


Buried. 10 Aug 1906 at Graveyard of St Nicholas Church in Halewood.
