Francis A. "Frank" Strong

Notes:

This appears to be Frank, with his first wife Mary ALFORD, at the time of the 1880, 1900 and 1910 census:

It appears the Mary died sometime after the 1910 census, and that Frank remarried, based on the following Geagua County Records Marriage record, which shows Frank A. Strong married Mrs. Addie L. Smith 7-5-1917 7 - 301 Grooms parents David B. Strong and Lenora A. Sherman. (Courtesty of Rhodene Frederick) According to her death certificate, Addie's maiden name was BOWEN.

As Frank and Addie were not married until 1917, Hazel must have been born while Addie was still married to a SMITH.

Frank may have temporarily moved West with his youngest son George, as it appears he was living with George in Winslow Arizona in 1930. Addie is not listed on the census with him, even though Frank is shown as married. Perhaps they were temporarily separated. Frank appears to have returned to Ohio, as the following cemetery listing can be found for he, and for Addie in 1931.

Munson, Geauga Co., OH Maple Hill Cem. Frank A. Strong 1856 - 09-16-1931 Addie L. Strong 1866 - 09-16-1931 nee Smith

Even though they died on the same day, it appears they died in differing cities from natural causes, and not in a joint accident.

Francis married Mary Alford before 1875. Mary was born in Jan 1858 in Ohio; died after 1910 in Ohio. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Francis married Addie L. Bowen on 5 Jul 1917. Addie was born on 24 Sep 1866 in Ohio; died on 16 Sep 1931 in Munson, Geauga County, Ohio. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Rhodene Frederick found the following information in Geauga Co., Ohio records:

Freddie A. Strong b Jun 24, 1875 1-076-#1580 Parents Frank A. Strong and Mary Alfred. He was born in Nelson, Ohio.

Freddie was listed with his parents at the time of the 1880 census, but can not be located in subsequent census records.

It was SUSPECTED that the following census records might be for Freddie A. Strong. However, after obtaining a death certificate for the Fred Strong enumerated below, it was determined that he was actually the son of Lorenzo Strong and Lois Austin of Strongsville, Ohio.

Notes:

He was still living at home in 1900. I could not located him in 1910 or 1920. There was a William K. Strong. born ca 1880, in Cuyahoga County in both 1910 and 1920, but they appear to be different individuals. William K Strong reported his father born in Canada at the time of the 1920 census.

The informant for the death certificate of Frank Strong, who died in 1931, was W.A. Strong of Painesville, Ohio. The census record below would therefore appear to be for the correct family.

Notes:

This may be him on the SSDI:

HOWARD G STRONG 10 Feb 1926 03 Jul 1976 (VA) (none specified) 527-22-7380 Arizona

This was the only Howard Strong born between 1925-1927 with a card issued in Arizona. The only other Howard Strong born in 1926 had his card issued in Massachusetts. He was born in April, however, so he can't be totally discounted.

HOWARD S STRONG 16 Apr 1926 26 Aug 2000 (V) 32530 (Bagdad, Santa Rosa, FL) (none specified) 034-14-7942 Massachusetts
