Notes:

Ralph was born in Lake County, and moved with his parents to nearby Cleveland prior to the 1870 census. At the time of the 1880 Federal census, he had left home, and was living with John Webb, who ran a Meat Market. Ralph drove a delivery wagon.

I was unable to locate him at the time of the 1900 census. He was still in Cleveland at the time of the 1910 census, however. Although he is listed as married, his wife and children are not present. He is living in a rooming home with several other single men. His son Harold was in the Navy. Son Harold was was listed on the 1910 census on the Military census, U.S. Navy, U.S.S. Conneticut, District 18, as STRONG, Harold J M W 18 Ohio Ohio Ohio.

Sometime before the 1920 census, Ralph returned with his family to Lake County. It appears that he and his wife seperated before 1930, and that Ralph moved to Virginia with son Harry.

However, Ralph eventually moved back to Ohio, living to the age of 88. His obituary appears below:

Notes:

Missing from his home home at the time of the 1870 census, when he would have been only age 12. He most likely died, was missed by the enumerator, or had already left home.

There was only one (1) HARRY STRONG, born between 1856 and 1860 in Ohio in the 1880 census index at www.familysearch.org, and that was 22 year old Harry Brightman Strong of Cleveland, son of Charles STRONG and Elizabeth ROE.

Harry Brightman Strong was still in Cleveland in 1900, but not other Harry Strong's were indexed. There was a Henry B. Strong of approximately the same age, but it is not known if this is the same individual.
