Heber R. Bishop
Heber Reginald Bishop (March 2, 1840 – December 10, 1902) was a noted businessman and philanthropist of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. His collections of art, especially his noted collection of jade, were donated to museums. "An industrialist and entrepreneur, Mr. Bishop was an active patron of the arts and a Trustee of the Metropolitan Museum during its formative years."〔("A Passion for Jade: The Heber Bishop Collection." )〕
==Early life==
Heber Bishop's family immigrated from Ipswich, England to the Massachusetts colony in 1685, settling in Medford, Massachusetts. Mr. Bishop was born there in 1840 to Nathaniel Holmes Bishop and Mary Smith Farrar, and received a commercial education, until he moved to Remedios, Cuba at the age of 19 to begin work in the sugar business. Within two years he started a sugar refinery business there and began the Bishop & Company, which was sold in 1873 when he returned to the United States, first to his father-in-law's "Cunningham Castle" in Irvington, NY, and later to the Bishop home at 881 Fifth Ave. He then invested in a number of banking firms, iron and steel companies, railroads, and western mining companies.
