"Star Lake, Vilas County. Star Lake was a development of the Williams and Salisch [sic] Lumber Company in 1894. Harry Star [sic] was killed by a pile driver as the track was being laid across a small bay of the lake to connect with a round house and sawmill. Both the lake and town were named in memory of him."
