      HISTORICAL COLLECTION OF BRISTOL TOWNSHIP, Bristolville Ohio, Thomas J. Kochur, 1989. (p. 210).

      Alberta's death in 1906 was probably as a result of childbirth, daughter Mary Alberta being born just 9 days prior to her mothers death. It was obviously devasting to the family. Fred or his youngest daughters have not yet been located 1910 or 1920 census index. The older children appear to have scattered. Robert S. Strong, the SFAA Historian, indicates that Fred left the family after the children were born.

      At the time of the 1910 census, 22 year-old Anna and 9 year-old Grace were living with their grandparents, Harmon and Ann Osborne, in Bristol. Daughters Mabel, age 21, and Belle, age 19, were living with their Aunt Alice Strong CUTTING in the fourth ward of Youngstown. Harmon, age 16, was listed as a "hired man" in the home of Cass MILLS in Farmington Township, Trumbull County. Harry, age 14, was listed as a "boy to raise" in the home of Wallace BOLES in Southington Township, Trumbull County.

      Fred and Alberta are buried in the Evergreen Cemetery, Bristol.

    • Rhodene Frederick examined a 3 vol. set of books by John Harris Sherman, THE SHERMAN DIRECTORY. This series had over 25,000 Shermans listed, mainly extracted from the 1850 census. This was donated to the Clayton Library in Houston by Art Cohan. In this book, she found the following entry:

      Leonora A. Sherman born Jul. 18, 1832 prob. Ohio. Daughter of Albert A. Sherman. Married D. B. Storey (sic) Jan 4, 1851

      Rhodene ALSO found this record of marriage in Ashtabula, Ohio records at the Clayton:

      Leonora A. Sherman to David B. Strong Jul 15, 1851

      Although it appeared that the January 4, marriage to D.B. Storey was most likely a transcription error, I wrote the Ashtabula County Common Pleas Court, Probate Division, in Jefferson Ohio, and asked them to check their records for marriage licenses for Leanora Sherman for BOTH of the above dates. They sent a copy of the only marriage record on file, that of David B. Strong to Leonora A. Sherman, which was dated July 15, 1851. In her cover letter, written March 21, 2005, Candace Baker, Deputy Clerk, responded that "There was not another marriage record for Leonora for Jan. 1851. I think possibly that they thought the name Strong was Storey, as the writing was hard to decipher."

      David and Leanora appeared to have renewed their vows twenty five years later, this time in Trumbull County. Interestingly enough, they chose to do this on the 35th anniversary of David's marriage to his first wife, Betsey Kagey.

      From 100 YEAR OF TRUMBULL COUNTY, OHIO, MARRIAGES 1800-1900 Courtesy of the Trumbull County Chapter of the Ohio Genealogical Society

      The same wedding date, March 16, 1876, is found in the "Historical Collections of Bristol Township, Bristolville, Ohio" by Thomas J. Kachur, 1989, p. 209.

      The actual certificate documenting this was included in the probate files of the estate of David and Leanora Strong in Trumbull County.

      An article in the "Trumbull County (Ohio) Independent" dated March 24, 1876 explained the reason for this remarriage: "The following divorce case, I believe, was the only successful one during the present term of court. Mrs. L. Strong vs. David B. Strong for divorce, on the ground of neglect of duty, etc. Divorce was granted. But now comes a singular turn in the case. Mr. Gillmer defended the husband with such vigor, and showed by such irrefutable arguments that these parties should not be separated, that, although the judge's sympathies for the woman could not be overcome, the parties themselves experienced a very great revival of earlier sympathies. In such a masterly manner did defendant's counsel portray the manly qualities of Mr. Strong, that the quick and appreciative nature of the petitioner (Leanora) was again touched as of old, and in precisely four days and a half days from the time the divorce was granted a (marriage) license was procured, and the happy couple were again married. We sincerely wish the bride and groom much joy."
