Roy Striffler's Son Dies in Accident
From Geneva (Ohio) Free Press

Less than an hour after her hurried from his sixth grade class at the Geneva school building, Roy Philip Striffler, 11-year-old son of Rev. and Mrs. R.J. Striffler, Eagle Street, died at Community Hospital where he had been rushed immediately after the bicycle on which he was riding was struck by an automobile on North Broadway at about 4:00 p.m. Wednesday.

The car that struck the boy was driven by A.E. Dreese, West Maple Avenue, a former pastor of the North Center Church and now employed at the Geneva Metal Wheel Co. Mrs. Dreese told Geneva authorities that the lad rode from between two parked cars near the Pleasant Street intersection.

The elderly driver, well-known in Geneva church and community circles, said the youngster was directly in front of the care "before I had a chance to stop." Taken to Community Hospital at about 4:15, the boy died five minutes later.

Ashtabula County Coroner, C.C. Webster, Geneva, and Patrolman Archie Drought, who jointly investigated the accident, exonerated Mr. Dreese of any blame. It was reported that the driver of the car had just left his work at The Geneva Metal Wheel Co. and was on his way home. He was travelling at a moderate speed, officials said.

Officials reported that the boy's death resulted from a fractured skull and broken neck.

Young Striffler was just beginning to take deserved pride in his newspaper route. Wednesday night was his third night ont he route which he carried from the Geneva Bus Station. Delivering the Ashtabula Star-Beaso in the northern portion of the village, the youngster had just started his delivery when he was hit by the car. Prior to Wednesday night, he had been accompanied by the boy who had formerly operated the newspaper route.

When Philip was brought into the Community Hospital his newpaper sack accompanied him. Unable to identify the youngster immediately, Patrolman Drought called the bus station, from where the lad carried the papers, and found out that boy's name. The family was notified at once.

Father of Roy Philip Striffler is Rev. R.J. Striffler, Geneva Congregational Church pastor, one of Geneva's best known and most highly regarded ministers.

Philip was a faithful member of his Sunday School class at the Congregational Church and was keenly interested in the Cub Scout movement which was started in Geneva early this year. He was in the sixth grade at school. The lad was a music pupil of Miss Harriet Webster, East Main Street.

Roy Philip Striffler was born at Oberline, June 10, 1928. At the time the Striffler's residence was in North Fairfield, Ohio.

Besides his mother and father, the youngster is survived by a sister, Martha Anne; two brothers, David and Foster; and his paternal grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. W.D. Striffler, Cass City, Michigan.

May 11, 1888

The men have been working near the river these two weeks, when the weather was so they could plow. Today they were sowing oats. Pete Burg helped mother with the garden. I let the deer out one evening and he ran around the house in the orchard and garden and tracked the garden all up. We got him back in. The report around is that Adam Benkelman was coming home. We were so glad to think they were going to be here again, then we were disappointed to hear it was only Minnie Burg's talk. It seems odd to not see you, with a book under your arm or in the morning see you come from upstairs. Mother wants to know how far it is from church, are are there any girls in your neighborhood?

Your fat sister, "Baby Elephant Jumbo", Salome

June 6, 1888

I am staying at the Muck's for three weeks now. Anna Peterson is dead. She had a tumor and died under an operation. I heard that Adam Benkelman was expected home any day, but will not be sure until I hear that Minnie Burg did not make it up. The population of Cass City has increased since you left. Adam Muck has a girl, Del Landon a girl, Duncan Graham and Alex McKenzie both boys.

What are you doing there? Are you going to stay there. What do you eat anyhow? is Mrs. W. Weydemeyer working where you board? Berries and huckleberries are scarce this year. The Enterprise says "Two women to eveyr raspberry." Lucy Meier was here begging for the new church in Fremont. Did you hear from Will Bien yet, since you are up there? He gets $28 a month. How much are you getting. David said you should come home and cut his hair.

Deaths of the Week

Mrs. Salome Bien

The Evangelical church was crowded Sunday afternoon by relatives and friends who came to attend the funeral of Mrs. Salome Bien whose death occurred at her home in Lansing last Thursday. Rev. F. L. Pohly conducted the services and interment was made in Elkland cemetery.

Salome Striffler was born Sept. 19, 1866, on the parental farm near Cass City. She was united in marriage with Wm. Bien in Kilmanagh, Mich., Nov. 25, 1891. This happy union was of short duration, for Mr. Bien preceded his wife in death 26 years ago. Three sons came to bless the home for whom their mother toiled and sacrificed these many years to make possible their education and welfare and whose privilege it became, in these later days, for them to reciprocate their love and devotion in caring for her.

For the past few years, Mrs. Bien has suffered greatly from cancerous trouble but in it all manifested a most patient and hopeful spirit. All that medical skill and kind hands could do could not overpower her affliction. On Jan. 26, 1922, she peacefully passed away at Lansing, Mich., at the age of 55 years. Mrs. Bien gave her heart to God in her youth and united with the Cass City Evangelical church of which she remained a member.

She leaves to mourn her departure three devoted sons, Stanley of Lansing, Paul of Detroit, and William, a student at the U. of M. at Ann Arbor, an aged father, John Striffler of Cass City, two brothers, G.A. Striffler of Cass City and David Striffler of Columbus, Ga., three sisters, Mrs. Archie Mark, Miss Martha Striffler and Mrs. W.R. Kaiser, all of Cass City, besides a host of other relatives and friends.

Former Argyle Merchant Is Dead

Samuel W. Striffler, who had been in poor health for several years, passed away at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Angus McPhail, on Tuesday afternoon at the age of 70 years.

He was born in Lancaster, New York, on Dec. 4, 1857. In 1863, the family moved to Sturgis, Michigan, and in 1877 they came to Cass City, settling on a farm in the northeastern part of Elkland township.

On May 9, 1882, Mr. Striffler was united in marriage with Miss Pauline Ahr and they commenced their married life on Mr. Striffler's farm in Greenleaf township, three miles east and one mile north of Cass City. Here their children were born and they remained there until December, 1891, when, owing to Mrs. Stiffler's failing health, they moved to Argyle, Sanilac county, where Mr. Striffler engaged in the mercantile business. As a merchant for 28 years in Argyle, Mr. Striffler became widely acquainted, and because of his honorable dealings with his customers and his public spirit in advancing the interests of his town, he was held in high esteem in that community. He was a regular attendant of the Argyle M.E. church and a staunch supporter of that society.

In the spring of 1920, Mr. Striffler sold his mercantile business at Argyle and bought a home in Cass City. Mrs. Striffler passed away on Nov. 4, 1920, and a son, Edward H., preceded his parents in death in 1903. Since Mrs. Striffler's death, Mr. Striffler has made his home with his daughter, Mrs. Angus McPhail.

Funeral services will be held in the Evangelical church in Cass City this (Friday) afternoon at two o'clock, conducted by Rev. George Hill, assisted by Rev. C.F. Smith, and interment will be made in Elkland cemetery.

Mrs. Striffler is survived by five children, Mrs. John A. Sandham and Mrs. Angus McPhail, both of Cass City, Mrs. Wm. Moreton of Detroit, Fred Striffler of Caro and Dr. Harry C. Striffler of Pontiac; two brothers, Wm. D. Striffler and Solomon C. Striffler, both of Cass City, and three sisters, Mrs. Chas. E. Patterson and Mrs. Edward Helwig, both of Cass City, and Mrs. Andrew McDermott of Alhambra, California.

Mr. Striffler, with possibly one exception, had spent more years in Elkland township than anyone residing in the community. His advent in this place was in the year following the organization of the township of Elkland in 1858. Watrousville was the nearest point that boasted any mercantile establishments in those pioneer days when a lumber trail was the only road in Cass City. Settlers left here at noon and walked to Watrousville, carrying their merchandise purchases home the next day.

Ms. Stiffler was a member of the Evangelical church here and a man of high ideals. He was for many years, until ill health made it necessary for him to resign, the teacher of the adult class in Sunday School and he stood foremost among students as a Bible student. He served Elkland township as treasurer, justice and highway commissioner, and for 28 years was a school director.

Mr. Striffler leaves besides his widow, six children, Frank and Louis Striffler of Detroit, Mrs. Ira Reagh, Leonard Striffler, Mrs. Alma Schenck and Miss Gertrude Stiffler, all of Cass City, eight grandchildren, one brother, Samuel Stiffler, of Battle Creek, and one sister, Mrs. George Zinnecker, of Moore, Montana.

Those for out of town in attendance at the funeral Sunday afternoon included Mr. amd Mrs. Ira H. Blakely, Mr. and Mrs. L.C. Benson, Mr. and Mrs. I.M Clapper, Mr. and Mrs. Cyril Batten, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Striffler, Mr. and Mrs. William R. Kaiser and children, Kenneth John and Ruth, Mrs. Florence Spangler, Louis Striffler, Burke Arehart, and Miss Luella Striffler, all of Detroit; Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Striffler and daugther, Anna, Mr. and Mrs. Earl Buchanan and children, James and Nellie Marie, all of Battle Creek; Fred Striffler of Caro; and Mr. and Mrs. Otto Nique of Decker.

During the Depression, a Captain in the Salvation Army sent Agnes to be interviewed by Walter Patty. He had a boarding house, and was widowed with several small children, and apparently could not keep housekeepers. The Salvation Army captain thought Agnes was well quailified despite her youth. She was hired, and she and her daughter Peggy moved into an apartment at the boarding house. Over a period of time, Walter and Agnes developed an affinity for each other and were married. He was a good husband, and good father to both his own children and to Peggy, who took his last name.

Mrs. Alice M. Cutting

Mrs. Alice M. Cuting, wife of Royal S. Cutting, dies at the family residence, 1015 Mount Pleasant street, Sunday at 10 p.m. from pneumonia. She had been ill only a few days and coming suddenly as it did her death was a very severe shock to the family and friends.

Mrs. Cutting whose maiden name was Alice Strong, was born in 1865 in Bristolville where she grew up and was married twenty-eight years ago to Royal Cutting, who survives with the following children: Glen Cutting, Mrs. James Shipp, and Alberta Cutting, all of Youngstown. There are also three brothers, Frank Strong, Chardon, O., Charles Strong, Dorset, O., and Fred Strong of Gary, Ind.

Mrs. Cutting had resided in Youngstown for a number of years and was member of the Epworth M. E. church. During her residence here she had gained the friendship of many people who highly respected her and regret her passing, and who sympathize with the family in the loss of a devoted wife and mother.

Funeral services will be held in the residence Wednesday evening at 7 o'clock. Thursday at 9:30 a.m. the remains will be taken to Bristolville where services will be held from the M. E. church at 12 o'clock. Interment will be made in the Bristolville cemetery. (Courtesy of WIlliam Billig).

If he did move to Nebraska, it appears he was back in Wisconsin by the time of the 1870 census. At that time, a 31 year old Ansel Strong, married to a 28 year old Rosina, was living in Hebron, Jefferson County, Wisconsin. They were the parents of Carrie, age 4, and Reuben, age 1. All four members of the family were listed as being born in Wisconsin. The same family can be found again in 1880, as follows:

Though Dwight lists him as Anson, he might actually have been named Ansel after his father. It also appears that he remained single, and moved between states working as a farm laborer.

He was still in Onondago County at the time of the 1850 census where he was listed by the census enumerator as 18 year old Ansel STRONG, a laborer, living in the home of Franklin WHEELER in Otisco.

In 1860, there is a 28 year old Anson STRONG, a farm laborer born in New York, and living in the home of Serjeant HUNKINS of New Berlin, Waukesha County, Wisconsin.

In 1870, there is a 36 year old Ansel STRONG, a laborer born in New York, living in the home of Anderson SHARP in Neosho, Morris County, Kansa

And in 1880, there is a 48 year old Ansel STRONG, a Farm Hand who was living in Neosho, Morris County, Kansas. He was listed as born in New York, with his father born in Connecticut and his mother born in New York. He was living in the home of Alexander Watson.

22378 I1277  Strong  Augustus Homer  9 Oct 1878  10 Aug 1958  According to his enlistment records, Augustus was a Private in Co. G, 4th Texas Infantry during the Spanish American War. As he was only 19 years old at the time of his enlistment, R. B. Strong had to sign his consent. This consent was given at Sulphur Springs, Texas on the 5th of July, 1898. It was noted that he had been a resident of Sulphur Springs, Texas for 2 years. This was witnessed by Frank Bridgeman. At the time of his enrollment, Augustus was 19 years, 9 months old, 5'4 inches tall, and weighed 126 pounds stripped, light complexion, grey eyes, light hair. He had a scar above his left knee. He was born in Farmersville, Collin County, Texas. His occupation was listed as farmer. The Roll show that he mustered in on July 22, 1898 in Houston, Texas, presumably at Camp Tom Ball (in the Heights area of Houston).

According to the company muster rolls, he was present in Weatherford, Texas for the periods ending August 31, 1898; October, 1898; December, 1898, and he mustered out on March 10, 1899 in Camp Mosby, San Antonio, Texas. Camp Mosby was located at the Jockey Club grounds, a bicycle and horse race track, along River Avenue in San Antonio. The golf clubhouse at Brackenridge Park replaced the Jockey Club building in 1923. The camp was in the vicinity of the golf clubhouse.

It appears Augustus was never sent outside of the country. On November 30, 1901 in Acme, Texas, he received an additional $8.84 for compensation for being mustered into the United States service for the war with Spain.

At the time of the 1900 Census, Augustus was living in the 81st District of Duke Township, Greer County, Oklahoma, with 22 year old John Garren of Missouri, a Farmer. 21 year old Augustus was listed as John's "Partner," presumably a co-owner of the farm. Henry Garren, age 45 and John's father, was listed as a Farm Laborer. He was married to Mary Gertrude Gay in nearby Cotton County in 1906.

In 1910, Augustus was listed as a "Hired Man" in the home of A.G. Gowan in the 61st District of Beaver Township, Comanche County, Oklahoma. He was listed as age 30, Married, and born in the United States. His wife, 23 year old Mary Strong, was a Patient in the Oklahoma Hospital for the Insane in Norman, Cleveland County, Oklahoma. She was listed as the mother of one child, still living. Their three year old daughter, Agnes, was living with her grandparents in the 62 District of Straws Twp, Comanche County, Oklahoma.

By 1920, Augustus and Mary were living together again, with their daughter Agnes. They were in Chickasha, Grady County, Oklahoma. The family was listed as follows: 1022 Penn. Avenue Strong, A.H. Head M W 41 M Tx Tx Tx Boiler Maker Railroad Shop Strong, Mary Wife F w 32 M Mississippi Alabama Mississippi Strong, Agnes Dau F w 12 S Ok Tx Miss

The house listed immediately preceding theirs was that of his brother, Claude.

After Gus was divorced, he lived with Rolla Strong in Portales, New Mexico around December, 1925. He and Rolla later moved to Clovis, New Mexico.

In 1930, Augustus could not be located on the census index. He was likely in New Mexico or Colorada, where he and Rolla had a ranch near Craig. Mary was listed as a patient at the Oklahoma State Hospital in Woodward, Oklahoma. Agnes, a waitress, and her four-month old daughter, Peggy, were living with her Uncle Earl in Chandler, Grady, Oklahoma.

By 1942, Gus and Rolla had moved to Porterville, California, where they lived nearby their brother Earl Strong.



From the California Death Index:

STRONG AUGUSTUS HOMER 10/09/1878 HALL STRONG M TEXAS ALAMEDA(01) 08/10/1958 79 yrs

His death certificate indicates that he was a self employed rancher, a veteran of the Spanish American War, and a widower. He died at the Veterans Administration Hospital in Livermore, Alameda County, and had been in Alameda County for 185 days prior to his death, presumably a resident of the Veterans Hospital. He had lived in California for two years prior to his death, and his last usual address was 395 Elta Vista Dr in Porterville. He was buried at the Golden Gate National Cemetery in San Bruno, California.

Barney said it was "Something strange" that he had never liked much, so he had always gone by Barney. Both Robert Strong and Viola Weaver confirmed this. In his mother's obiturary, he was listed as "Branyard," so he presumably was named Brainerd in honor of his grandfather, Ralph Brainerd and great-grandfather David Brainerd. He was a veteran of World War II, later working as a welder.

22382 I19373  Strong  Benjamin  Abt 1674  27 Aug 1755  A weaver, resided at E. Guilford, Ct., with Selah MURRAY, whose wife, Ann BRADLEY, was probably a connection of Nathan BRADLEY, his father-in-law. Benjamin was a bachelor and left his property to the Murrays. He is described as "an intelligent man of quiet behavior." He was deputy of Guilford (Oct., 1730, May, 1731).  STR06 
22383 I19195  Strong  Benjamin  15 Feb 1759  Abt 1818  Benjamin Dwight list's him as "a farmer in Middle Haddam, Ct., where he d. about 1818, aged 58." (Dwight, p 193).

Benjamin STRONG, brother of Josiah jr. and Joshua, was born February 15, 1759, married November 27, 1782, Susannah TROWBRIDGE, and settled in Middle Haddam, where he died about 1818. His children were: Reuben, born October 6, 1783, and Benjamin, born 1785, both lost at sea November 19, 1809, when sailing to Norfolk, Virginia; Susan, who married Oliver ACKLEY; Ansel, who married Hannah STOCKING; Rhoda, who married Alfred HUBBARD, and Lovina, who married Chauncey B. BULKLEY. Braddock Strong resided on the homestead, and filled various offices at profit and trust in the gift of his fellow townsmen, dying September 30, 1878, nearly 79 years of age, universally respected.

It APPEARS that Sophia died sometime after 1850, most likely sometime after 1855 when George was born. It also noteworthy that there is now a seven year old Sylvester STRONG listed. The relationship between George and Mary STRONG, age 33, is not known. She might be a second wife, or might be a relative that came to help him with his children. It is unusual that she is listed last in the household, and not immediately following his listing.

It appears that Benjamin was remarried to Eliza, most likely prior to the birth of Charles Strong. However, if Charles is actually 11, then both Eliza and Charles should have been listed in Benjamin's household at the time of the 1860 census. Perhaps Charles is a stepson. It is also interesting that 17 year old Sylvester Strong was missing from the 1860 census. He was either inadvertantly left off that census, or he might actually also be a son of Eliza from a prior marriage, and a stepson to Benjamin.

Finally, this is the household at the time of the 1880 Census:

22392 I1280  Strong  Burt Rodney  2 Oct 1890  22 Aug 1963  Burt was listed as Berthodne on the 1900 Texas census. His descendants were unfamiliar with the origin or accuracy of that name, having always known him simply as Burt. Burt lived in Duncan at the time of his father's death in 1929.

While examining records in Collin County, Texas, Charles Strong located probate records of R.B. Strong, Guardian, Estate of Burton R. Strong, et al. It was in Vol A3, P656-666. The records indicate that "R.B. Strong, guardian of the estate of Burton R. Strong, Claud E. Strong, Raleigh J. Strong, Earl E. Strong, Ernest R. Strong, would respectfully show to the court that it is necessary to sell the real estate of said wards for the education and maintenance of said minors, for this that all of the personal property belonging to said estate has been sold, and the proceeds thereof, and insufficient there for, and he refers to the sworn exhibit hereto attached and made part of this application. He further show that the real estate desired to be sold belonging to each minor is described as follows; the one-eighty eighth (1/88) undivided interest of each of said minors in and to the following tracts of land-----situated in Collin County Texas part of the L.B. Outlaw survey-----First tract---part of that portion set apart to and known as the widows share in the N.E. Corner of the 1000 acre tract sold by S.M. & W.H. Horton to A.K., J.L., and M.B. Morrow and described as follows....Second tract---Being also a part of said 1000 acre tract out of the L.B. Outlaw survey...." R.B. (Ralph) had applied for the Letters, Guardinship on 3 October 1908.

The guardianship detailed above pertained just to the minor children of R.B. Strong, and did not include Augustus, Walter, or Lee. Presumably they were above the age 18 and inherited their 1/88 share of land outright. Additional land records located by Charles Strong show that the land in question appears to have been originally purchased by Mash and Eliza Hall in 1862 in Collin County.

I was not able to locate him at the time of the 1910 Census.

At the time of the 1920 Census, he was living with his wife and daughter in the 167 District of Chickasha, Grady County, Oklahoma.

The 1930 Census for Duncan, Stephens County, Oklahoma, King Township, lists the family as follows:

And although Dwight wrote that they had no children, there was Henry Strong, their was a child listed with them at the time of the both the 1870 and 1880 census, and in 1880 it was indicated he was their son. It appears he was called Charles in 1870 and Henry in 1880, but as he was the same age, it is likely the same person.

22399 I6006  Strong  Charles  Between 1858 and 1860  Aft 1912  Charles was not listed on the 1860 census, although he was shown as age 11 in 1870. He most likely was born shortly after the 1860 census was taken, or simply missed by the enumerator. He is mentioned by name in the 1894 probate records of Leanora Strong's estate, and also in the obituary of his sister Alice in 1912, so he was alive until at least that date. In Alice's obituary, he was shown as of Dorset, Ohio.

There is a 20 year old Charles Strong, born in Ohio with parents born in NY and OH, working as a single Farm Laborer in the home of David FRANCIS in Piermont, Ashtabula, OH at the time of the 1880 Federal Census. There was NOT a Charles Strong in Ashtabula in the index for the 1870 index, ten years earlier, so it is possible, so this is likely his listing in 1880. He was not found in the census indexes for 1900 or thereafter, however.

There was a Charles Strong, born in Ohio ca. 1858 that was living in or around Champaign County, Illinois from 1880 through his death in 1930. That Charles Strong, however is not David B. Strong's son. His death certificate shows that he was born in Toledo, Ohio and that his father was Frederick Silas Strong.

According to his death certificate, he was the son of Frederick STRONG and Marion FREEMAN.

I can NOT locate Frederick, Marion or Hattie at the time of the 1880 census at www.familysearch.com.

Charles, however, appears to have already moved to Illinois, and is listed as follows in 1880:

In 1910, 52 year old Charles F. Strong, still married to Alice can be located in Harmon, Lee County, Illinois. The same couple can be found in 1920 back in Champaign County, but now in Newcomb. Charles is listed as age 71 on this census.
