Subject: [STRONG] STRONG Family Photograph

I’ve “rescued” an old photograph of Caro Reynolds STRONG dated 1895.  The
photograph does not include a studio location or photographers
identification, however, someone has written the word “Cottrell” along with
the name and date on the back of the photograph.  Based on limited research
I was able to locate the following information regarding Caro and her family
as follows:

Caro Reynolds STRONG b. 3 May 1875 in Pittston, PA to parents Theodore
STRONG (b. 25 Jan 1820 in Somers, CT) and Elizabeth Deborah WILSON (b. 20
Jul 1838 in Pine Planes, NY).  Theodore was married twice and Elizabeth was
his second wife with whom he had three daughters, Helen Eliza; Caro
Reynolds; and Grace STRONG all born in Pittston, PA between 1874 and 1875.
Caro was a twin with sister Grace STRONG.  Caro died 20 Aug 1967 in West
Pittston, PA.

I am hoping to locate someone from the family so that this wonderful old
photograph can be returned to their care, if you are a member of this
family, or you know someone who might be, please contact me.

Thanks,
Shelley

Good Afternoon,

My name is Karen Strong Railey and I am looking for information concerning my gr grandfather who was known as Edward Henry Strong. I haven’t been able to find anything concerning him before I find him in IA when he married Susan Beedle/Beadle. I do not know if he was married before he went to IA or if he had children before this.I don’t have parent’s or sibling’s names. That information was never passed down.

Edward’s family before his marriage to Susan has been a brick wall for my cousins and I. We are hoping if we put out info and questions to as many Strong’s as we can we’ll eventually come across someone who knows about him or recognizes some circumstances that happened in their branch of Strong’s that may be similar to some of our family stories or that some of Edward’s children’s names will be the same as some of Edward’s ancestors or siblings in someone’s Strong family and we’ll be able to figure this out that way.

Below is pretty much what I know about Edward.
