George A. STRONG. Among the farming community of South Branch Precinct the subject of this sketch occupies a good position socially and financially. He has one of the most attractive homesteads in this region, finely located on section 28, and embracing 160 acres of land. He has acquitted himself as an enterprising farmer and good business man, one largely devoted to the interests of his home and his family, living quietly and unostentatiously, and preferring the comforts of his own fireside to mingling with the busy world. Although by no means advanced in years, he served in the Union Army during the late war, and preserves a vivid recollection of many of the experiences of that terrible time, in which he endured in common with his brother soldiers the hardships and privations of army life. He belonged to the home guards.
The parents of our subject, David B. and Betsey (Kagie) Strong, were natives respectively of New York and Pennsylvania, whence they removed in their youth with their parents to Trumbull County, Ohio, where they were married. The mother died many years ago. Both David B. Strong and his father, the paternal grandfather of our subject, are still living. The parental household included three sons and one daughter; the latter, Mary H., died when about thirteen years old. The other sons, John A. and Henry A. are living in Ohio and Wisconsin.
George A. Strong was born in Trumbull County, Ohio, May 12, 1846 (sic), and soon after the death of his mother, which occurred when he was seven years old, began life for himself. He worked on a farm until the spring of 1862, and then, although but a youth of sixteen years, enlisted in a regiment called the Trumbull Guards, being mustered in at Gallipolls, and at the close of the war was mustered out at the same place. He had participated in several skirmishes.
After the close of the war young Strong began an apprenticeship at the blacksmith trade, at which he worked three years in the Buckeye State. In the spring of 1868 he resolved to seek the farther West, and came to this county homesteading the quarter-section of land from which he total transformed a valuable and productive farm. He has put up most of the buildings which he now occupies, and for the last nine or ten years has operated a blacksmith-shop on his farm, which has not only been the source of a great convenience to himself, but his neighbors also. His fields are divided by beautiful hedge fences, and he has planted fruit and shade trees, having an apple orchard of 200 trees, besides the smaller fruits.
Mr. Strong after coming to the West was married in the town of Syracuse, this county, Sept. 12, 1877, to Miss Sopha, daughter of T. J. and E. J. (James) Edwards, who were natives respectively of Kentucky and Ohio. They removed with their parents to Missouri and were married in that State, where the father for a time followed his trade of mason. In 1873 they came to this county, lived for a time in Nebraska City, and then on a farm in Fremont County, Iowa. Finally returning to Syracuse, they lived there a short time, then changed their residence to Johnson County, where they still make their home. Of their children, twelve in number, seven are living, namely: Amelia, Susan, John, Sopha, Thomas, Josephine and Frank. The brothers and sisters of Mrs. Strong are residents mostly of Nebraska.
The wife of our subject was born in De Kalb County, Mo., July 28, 1856, received a good education, and taught school four terms before her marriage. She is a very intelligent lady and a favorite in the social circles of her neighborhood. Of her union with our subject there have been born five children, viz: M. Luella, Fred C., Susie B., J. Alta and E. Ruth. They are all at home with their parents. Mr. Strong is a Republican, "dyed in the wool," and an uncompromising Harrison and Morton man. He has been a member of the School Board of his district for the past three years, and Road Supervisor six years.

George married Sophia E. Edwards on 12 Sep 1877 in Syracuse, Otoe County, Nebraska. Sophia was born on 28 Jul 1856 in Dekalb County, Missouri; died after 1900. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Rhodene Frederick found the following biography of Henry and Emma from the "Historical Collections of Bristol Township, Bristolville, Ohio" by Thomas J. Kachur 1989, p. 210.

Strong, Henry A. b in Bristol Mar 12, 1846, son of David and Betsey Kagy Strong. David Strong was a native of New York. Betsey Kagy came to Bristol from Pennsylvania. Henry was a blacksmith and operated a shop in Warren. He di June 4, 1903. His wife, Emma A. Tovey, was b in England, and came to America withy her parents at the age of three. They were m in 1879 and were the parents of Harry, Clarence, and Warren A. Strong, all of Cleveland. David and Betsey Kagy Strong were m Mar 16, 1841.

A more complete biography of the family is in A TWENTIETH CENTURY HISTORY OF TRUMBULL COUNTY, OHIO: The Lewis Publishing Company, Chicago, 1909, by Harriet Taylor Upton of Warren.

Upton notes that "the mother of Mr. Strong was of a prominent family in Trumbull county named KAGY, who came from Pennsylvania. The family are in possession of a genealogy tracing back to Switzerland, from which European country they originated. Mr. Strong was reared and educated in Trumbull county and was by trade a blacksmith. He carried on a shop twenty years and up to his death, when he was one of the oldest business men in point of years in Warren. He was highly succesful in his undertakings. He made his own way through life from early boyhood and he owned considerable real estate and was associated with Messrs. LAUB (sic) and WALLACE of Warren. In his politics, he was a staunch defender of Republican party principles. He was known as a hard working man and educated his family in a commendable manner. After having spent a useful life he died June (sic) 4, 1903.

Henry Strong drew up his will on October 11, 1902. It is recorded in Will Bk #22 p. 1-4. He left the use of his homestead at 201 Park Avenue in Warren to his beloved wife Emma for her life. He also left her all the rents and profits from the "brick block known as the Meat Market property, on the east side of Park Avenue" which he owned an undivided on-half interest with Willam G. LAMB; the blacksmith shop site on Park Avenue; his undivided one-third interest he owned with William G. LAMB and Mrs. S.S. ERNEST in the Christy property on East Market Street; three lots in the McMyler addition in West Warren; $3,000 in life insurance; along with all his personal property and household goods. He further directed that all the property left after the decease of Emma should be equally divided among his three sons. In addition to the land he left Emma, he had various parcels, most owned in undivided interests with other individuals, that he left directly to his sons. He added that the sons should not come into absolute possesion and control in the various real estate possessions until they reached the age of 30, for the reason that he regarded said property as a good and valuable investment that would increase in value. He also willed to his son, Clarence, his gold watch and chain, providing he had not already bought him one of his own prior to his death. He left his son, Warren, his homestead on Park Avenue. He noted in the will that the Franklin block, left to Clarence, was the most valuable piece of his real estate, and this is why he left Harry and Warren the Meat Market and Homestead subject to Emma's life estate, respectively, in an attempt to equalize the values bequethed. Finally, Henry appointed his friend, William G. LAMB as trustee of the assets to be bequethed to his minor son, Warren.

His obituary, copied below, was located by William Billig of Michigan:

OBITUARY, WARREN DAILY TRIBUNE, JANUARY 5, 1903, PAGE 1, COLUMN 4

WAS A REMARKABLE MAN Henry A. Strong of 201 North Park avenue, this city, died Sunday morning at 2:20 o'clock. His death was the result of a very aggravated case of catarrh of the stomach. About October 1, Mr. Strong quit work and went to Cleveland to seek medical assistance. His trouble was pronounced catarrh of the stomach and an operation was recommended, but Mr. Strong refused to undertake the operation. He returned home and later consulted Dr. Hoover of Cleveland.

On December 11, Dr. Hoover, with the assistance of local physicians, made an incision into Mr. Strong's stomach and discovered that the prognosis was correct. The found further that the trouble had reached a stage that rendered an operation useless, and that his death was only a question of a few weeks. According to the physicians, Mr. Strong's condition was of about eighteen months' duration.

Henry Strong was born in Bristolville, the son of Mr. and Mrs. David Strong, on March 12, 1846. He learned his trade of horseshoer in Bristol an from there he went to Meadville, Pa., where he worked for a few weeks. In March, 1866, he came to Warren and for about two months worked at his trade for Geo. and Homer Reid. He then went to work at the present stand on South Park avenue, and a few months later, with John Hardy, bought out the business. A few years later he purchased Mr. Hardy's interest and since that time until his fast illness had worked and conducted the business a the same location in the same building.

Mr. Strong was married to Emma Tovey of Cleveland, April 10, 1879. To this union were born three children, Harry A., Clarence A. and Warren, all living.

In many ways Mr. Strong was a remarkable man. His life shows what industry and indomitable determination will do. Starting with no capital but good health, a strong arm and lots of push, he accumulated a fortune of $60,000. Warren people have always recognized Henry Strong as a man worthy of confidence and respect, and a man whose word was as good as his bond. Besides his home and place of business, his interests embraced the old Opera House block, the Chase block, the L & S. block, and the Kirk property in conjunction with W. G. Lamb, and the Franklin block owned jointly with W. G. Lamb and Wm. Wallace.

He was a member of the Royal Arcanum having joined that order Feb. 3, 1882.

The funeral will be held at the residence Tuesday afternoon at 1 o'clock. Rev. Henry E. Cooke of the Episcopal church will officiate.

Henry married Emma A. Tovey on 10 Apr 1879 in Ohio. Emma was born on 26 Dec 1852 in England, United Kingdom; died on 16 Apr 1930 in Trumbull County, Ohio. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
