GENEALoGY OF THE STRONG FAMILY
L. Howard kellogg is collecting stats
tics for the History of the Strong family
in this country, now being written by DIR
B. w. Dwight of Clinton, Oneida county
| N. Y.
It's details cover the history of the
Strong family in all it's branches, male
and female, direct and collateral from the
first settlement of the country to the
present hour, embracing some 15,OOe
names, or more. 1t will consist of two
large octavos of some 600 pages each.
Elder John Strong of Northampton,
Mass, the founder of the Strong family
in this country had 1S children, and all
but two of them by Joanna Ford his Sec
ond wife. OF these Is children Is had
families, and several of them as large as his
own. The ground to be traversed has
therefore been immense.
In the latter part of the last century
four of the descendants came to Benson
to reside, viz: Waltham Strong, Huldah
Strong, Oxen Strong and Russell Strong
The two first died here. One died in
Canada, and one in Gaines, n. Y. Their
descendants (the two first named) are
quite numerous in this vicinity. The two
last named, or their descendants, have
lived ia Pittsford, Rutland and West
Haven, in this county.
Any facts relating to this investigation
embracing family records, biographical OF
auto-biographical notices, will be thank
fully received by Mr.. Kellogg, and-tr
mitted to the proper persons and in due
time will appear in their appropriate
place in the History.

some hundred yards or more, much to the

gave up the contest, and walked quietly
back TO await the next train.

way in which Vermont girl regained
her health and made money:
"a farmers daughter in delicate health,
living on the Vermont side of the Con-

in February, 1867 Part of the hens
were set with turkeys eggs. The flock
of chickens and turkeys was quite numer-

Several eggs were used in the family

the best ones) giving away at Thanks
giving. Much the same iberality was
used each year. The total cash received
for eggs and poultry during the three
years was three hundred and thlrty-four
dollars and fifty cents. The cost of keep
ing was fully met by the eggs used in
the family; so the above amount is clear
profit In addition to this the invalid is
much improved in health. The food for
the fowls was mainly corn and cob meal,
given warm in cold weather; boiled po-
tatoes and hog-scraps, an excellent ad-
dition given occasionally. Few know the
real profit of keeping hens. So many
think they don't pay that little care Is
given them. Let them have good com
