Billings, Frederick

0.01 sec.

Billings, Frederick (1823–90) lawyer, railroad executive; born in Royalton, Vt. A University of Vermont graduate, he went to California in the gold rush of 1849, and, opening a law office instead of prospecting, became a prominent and powerful San Francisco attorney. An early shareholder in the Northern Pacific Railroad, he raised the capital necessary to complete the road during a term as president (1879–81). He used some of his substantial fortune to build churches in Woodstock, Vt., and the eponymous Billings, Mont.
