Notes:

"ROBERT STRAHORN, Chicago, the dean of stockyards commission merchants, both in years and period of business career, died at his residence, 4935 Washington Ave., yesterday afternoon. He was 76 years old. His death was just one year after that of his wife, who came to Chicago as his bride fifty years ago. Mrs. Strahorn died May 25, 1902, and since her death her husband had grown perceptibly weaker. Coming here from Ohio in 1853 (probably 1855 -Ed) Mr. Strahorn became one of the commission merchants in the old Sherman stockyards, then located at State and 22nd Streets. From that time he was actively interested in the commission business in Chicago, and for years has been regarded as an authority by the younger men of the yards. He was born in Wayne County, Pa. (no, actually West Buffalo Township, Union County, Pennsylvania -Ed.) leaving there for Ohio when a boy. In 1853 he married Julia Murdock, and leaves one son, Harry C. Strahorn, who was associated with him in business. Until two years ago Mr. Strahorn had no partners in business. Then he established the Strahorn-Hutton-Evans company, of which he was president at his death. The funeral will be held Friday, the burial being in Oakwoods. He was a member of the Home Masonic Lodge." -Chicago Daily Tribune, May 27, 1903.
