Ostby and Barton Co. jewelry manufacturing company was founded in 1879 when Engelhart Cornelius Ostby and Nathan B. Barton formed their business partnership. Their company would soon be known as “the largest ring manufacturers in the world”. Ostby and his daughter Helene traveled to Europe frequently, to study European jewelry design and production. After 1906, all of Ostby’s trips to Europe included his daughter. Little did they know, their last father - daughter trip together would be to France in 1912. This final trip ended in tragedy. When the duo were prepared to head back home to Providence, RI, Ostby heard from friends about a ship traveling to New York. The name of the ship was the Titanic. At 11:40 P.M., on April 14, 1912, the Titanic hit an iceberg. After the collision, Ostby and his daughter, along with their friends the Warrens, climbed the grand staircase and went out to the boat deck. It was frigid outside, so Ostby decided to quickly return to his room to gather some warmer attire. While he was inside the ship, men insisted Helene board a lifeboat. She desperately wanted her father to join, but she listened to the men and got on the boat. Helene would never see her father again. Ostby was 64 years when he perished on the Titanic along with 1500 other individuals.
