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.
