COUNTY.
WOODBURY..

The retirement from the head of
one of the principal stores OF the town
after period OF service of nearly 70
years deserves more than passing
notice, as in the case of Nathaniel M.
Strong, who has recently sold out his
drug business to Messrs Garfield &
Terrill. Mr. Strong was born in Wood
bury, April 6, 1S49, SON of Nathaniel
L. and Mary r. (Miner) Strong. The
first ancestor of the family in America
was John Strong, a native Of Taunton,
England, who emigrated to New Eng
land about the year 1888. He settled
in Woodbury. in the year 100, was en-
gagged in farming, and raised family
of eight children. His third son, Pre-
served Strong, married Esther StOd-
dard, by whom he became the father
of i've children. Anthony, his fourth
child, was Mr. Strong's great-grand-
father.
Anthony Strong was born in Wood
bury, December 9, 1859. When young
man he went to the town of Washing
ton, where he engaged in operating
mills for number of years. In s1817
he returned to Woodbury. and settled
at the old family homestead, now
owned by F. T. Strong; and he resided
there until his death, which took place
in 1929. He served as private in the
Revolutionary War, and subsequently
was captain in the State militia. He
married Phebe Curtis, and had three
children: namely, Phebe, Anthony c.,
and Nathaniel. Anthony G. Stong,
Mr. Strong's grandfather, was born
September !, 1892. He assisted his

father in running the mills in Wash
lngton, and later became a successful
farmer in Woodbury., where he passed
the rest of his life. He married Julia
Lambert, and raised a family of four
children, namely: Nathaniel L., Mr.
Strong's father, Henry P, Willis A.,
Frederick T. The grandparents each

Nathaniel L. Strong was born in

in his calling and an exemplary citizen.
He was engaged in agriculture until
his death, which took place when he
was tifty-nine years old. In politics
he was Republican. He served with
ability in several of the important
town offices, and he was member of
the Congregational church. His first
wife, in maidenhood MaryR. Miner, to
whom he was married in 1916, was a
daughter of Nathaniel Miner. She died
at the age of thirty-tive, leaving one
son, Nathaniel NJ, the subject. Ills
second wife was Mary (Byran) Strong,
who had no children.
Nathaniel NJ. Strong, after receiving
good education in the schools of his
native town, taught school for six
years. He then engaged as a clerk in
the store kept by w. A. Strong. After
spending one year in this employment,
he joined his employer in erecting
the building known as Strong's Block
and in fitting up and starting large
store for the drug and hardware bust
ness. The two had conducted the
store unitedly for about eight years,
when in 1885 Nathaniel purchased his
partners interest, added full line of
groceries, paints, 'Oils, etc, and since
has successfully continued the bust
ness alone. He is member of the
First Congregational church and in
politics he supports the Republican
party. He has served as school visitor
was III ClllCC yCdlo u VI Cl1N
Board of Education, and represented
his town in the legislature in 1889. He
is member of the Order of American
Mechanics, and of the Foresters. He
is highly esteemed in both business
and social circles as a progressive and
enterprising merchant and citizen.
Mr. Strong married for his first wife
Margaret Lambert daughter of Henry
Lambert, who died, leaving no chill
dren. He married for his second wife
Julia Minor, daughter of Solomon B.
Miner, OF Waterbury, who is the edi-
tress of ",The Town and People," just
