17 acres and 24.5 rods, and the third having 7 acres and 42 rods, he purchased them from the church for $859.20. A year prior, on February 14, 1873, during a rowdy benefit for the Salem reading club which started around 7 p.m., a Mr. and Mrs. O. (members of the church) "took tea and spent the evening at Mr. Starbuck's" home. On December 20 of that year, Starbuck was either elected or re-elected as Noble Grand of the local Odd Fellows Lodge - Salem Lodge No.36. It was reported by the People's Press on March 26, 1874, that "Mr. Starbuck has a fine display of Geraniums, Lilies, [and] Japonicas." The very next day (March 27), a Mr. D. Bailey purchased 7 acres from the church for $175, but deeded this property to Starbuck. The People's Press ran a lengthy article on May 7, 1874, concerning Starbuck's brother-in-law Jacob Blickenderfer's involvement in an attempted robbery. The article also mentions local architect Elias Alexander Vogler, A. Vogler, and "Henry Edwards from Greensboro". Starbuck's brother-in-law, Jacob Bickenderfer, married his first wife Adelia Cornelia Ackerman, daughter of Alex and Serena Rebecca Snipe Ackerman, on September 25, 1876. Starbuck's daughter, Mary Theodora, married Eugene Augustus Ebert, son of Christian and Lucinda Elisabeth Rothass Ebert, on September 20, 1877. Eugene worked as a dry goods merchant, likely in his father's millinery shop. His daughter, Ella Starbuck, married Seth Jones Montague, son of Henry Walter and Ann Elizabeth Jones Montague, on December 4, 1879. Seth was a physician and surgeon who took up work in Winston-Salem after moving there from Wake County, where he grew up on Harmony Plantation, which is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Starbuck purchased ten shares of stock with the North Carolina Railroad Company in or before 1872, but by 1878 his shares in the railroad company had grown to twenty. As the Wachovia National Bank was founded in 1879, Darius's 16 shares of stock in the company had to have been purchased subsequently. Now enumerated as 62, in 1880 Darius was living with his wife Ellen (46), son Henry (14), son-in-law Seth Montague (29), and daughter Ella Montague (21). No longer state attorney, he had returned to his private law practice. A housekeeper named Rebecca Sheek (25) also lived in the household. Now married, his daughter Dora Ebert (23) had moved with her husband, Eugene Ebert (30),
