Striffler, George Albert ca 1900's, with his bride Cora Belle Horn Clark
George and Cora were married in her hometown of Manitowoc, Wisconsin in 1900, after which they moved to Cass City, Michigan to make their home. Cora remained very close to her step-grandfather, Leonhard Benkelman of Wisconsin.

Striffler Home (George and Cora), 6593 Houghton St, Cass City, Michigan
The Cass City Home of George and Cora Striffler. George was a prominent merchant in the early years of the village. The home was later owned by the family of Robert and Lorraine Benkelman. In a 1915 article from HISTORY OF MICHIGAN, it was noted that "Mr. Striffler has recently completed in Cass City a handsome and thoroughly modern house of twelve rooms, the same being the family home and one of the most attractive in the village, even as it is one of the most hospitable,a center of much of the social activity of the community. An appreciable part of the timber utilized in the erection of this building was taken from land owned by Mr. Striffler and is of growth that has been made since the disastrous forest fires which swept this section in 1871. Mr. Striffler himself found satisfaction in assisting in the sawing of the logs into the lumber and shingles for his fine new residence."

In 1964, Robert Fletcher Benkelman and his wife Lorraine purchased the home, and lived in it with their family through 1970.
