Notes:

"To the citizens of Aetna township the gentleman whose life is herein reviewed is so well known as a capable farmer and honest, upright and active member of the community, as to need no introduction. Frank P. Strahorn was born in Chester county, Pennsylvania, on June 9, 1851, the son of Joseph and Eliza (Alcott) Strahorn. His father was born in 1805 and died on July 20, 1876. His mother was born in 1812, and died on December 1, 1877. His grandparents, Joseph and Alcott Strahorn, were natives of Pennsylvania, of Scotch descent, and lived to be very old, dying in their native state. (his grandparents were actually Samuel Strahorn & Hannah Gheen -Ed)

Joseph Strahorn and his family came to Iowa in 1856, a year well remembered by early settlers on account of the deep snow of that winter. With his wife and twelve children he settled on the present Strahorn homestead, in section 29, Aetna township, Hardin county. Of his six sons and six daughters, nine are living, whose names follow: Mary Jane, now Mrs. Garrett, of Spokane, Washington; Hannah, now a widow, Mrs. Gleason, of Cedar county, Iowa; Samuel, of Spokane, Washington; Elizabeth, now Mrs. Frantz, of Portland, Oregon; William, of Portland, Oregon; Jesse, a twin of William, of South Dakota; Anna, now Mrs. Millikan, of Hardin county; Joseph; and Frank P. The deceased are George K.; Danna, Mrs. Davis; and Isabelle, Mrs. Swartwood. Past and Present of Hardin County, Iowa edited by William J. Moir. Indianapolis: B. F. Bowen, 1911.

According to "oral history" and/or family lore, the Strahorns were among the earliest homesteaders in Hardin and Franklin Counties. Supposedly the oxen died in Hardin County so some of the family decided to settle there. Other family members were determined to travel further so they hitched up the cow to pull the wagon. The cow died in Ackley (Franklin County) and they decided to give up and settle that area. My mother actually had the original oxen yoke hanging on her wall as a decoration for several years. It was given to her by Franklin. It was fascinating to me. If my memory is right, she eventually donated it to the Hardin County Historical Society." -Judi (Strahorn) Wiskus
