| 1664 |  | Springfield Furnace Since John and Margaret lived at Springfield Furnace, a company town, John likely worked in iron production there, a business he would continue to be involved with throughout his life. It is also likely that John Zentmyer was acquainted with Alfred Berryhill Crewitt, whose daughter would marry Miles Zentmyer, as both men were in the iron smelting business and both were Presbyterians.

| 1673 |  | Strahorn Pines - Spokane In 1887 this home was built and occupied by J.J. Browne, the developer of Browne's Addition. Browne's Addition was Spokane's premier neighborhood at the time, and arguably retains that status today. The home sat atop a bluff with panoramic views of the Spokane River below. In 1900 the home was purchased by Robert and Carrie Strahorn. The three-story building was then completely remodeled by noted architect Kirtland Cutter into a twenty-room mansion with nine bathrooms and ten fireplaces. The first house in Spokane with steam heat, Strahorn Pines was also said to have featured a bowling alley. The house was accquired by the Eastern Washington Historical Society in 1970 and demolished in 1974 to make way for a new museum building. | |

| 1676 |  | Strahorn's Mill Covered Bridge Also known later as the Foxcatcher Farms Bridge, after the Strahorn Mill property was acquired by William du Pont and combined with his Foxcatcher Farms properties. (William's son John was the subject of the movie Foxcatcher) This is one of only two remaining historic covered bridges in Cecil County, Maryland. An advertisement for bids to build a bridge near Strahorn's Mill appeared in both the Cecil Democrat and Cecil Whig on June 9, 1860. The contract called for a bridge over Big Elk Creek, "covered and to span 65 feet and have a width of 16 feet, out to out." Ten days later the contract was awarded to Ferdinand Wood for a cost of $1,165 and it called for the bridge to be built on the "Old Burr plan." (the curving trusses were called Burr trusses) It is likely the bridge was completed by the end of the year or very early in 1861. The bridge is located in Fair Hill where Tawes Dr. crosses Big Elk Creek. | |
| 1677 |  | Strahorn's Mill on Big Elk Creek in 1898 At various times the building had been a woolen mill, nail factory, grist mill, turning mill, and a tanbark yard before Jonathan Strahorn converted it to a sawmill, later passing it on to his sons Thomas and Albert. The 1880 Census of Manufacturers showed 'A. Strahorn and Bro.' doing their own logging and operating the sawmill which represented $5,000 in capital investment, had four employees, and three saws - a circular, muley, and band saw. A 9.5-foot waterfall drove two 27-inch turbines which developed 22 horsepower. Annual output was 100,000 board feet, or about $2,000. The 61 acre farm, house, and mill went into receivership and were purchased at auction in 1888 by Albert and Thomas' younger brother Edward Hicks Strahorn and the property eventually went to Edward's sons Isaac and Harry. It was one of the properties purchased by William du Pont in 1927, and was finally sold to the Maryland Department of Natural Resources in 1975. | |
| 1678 |  | Strahorn, Pierson & Co. Spoke and Wheel Factory, Toughkenamon,Chester County, Pennsylvania After a fire destroyed his factory in 1864, Samuel Strahorn decided to relocate. With the advent of steam power, factory owners were no longer limited to operating near rivers and streams. Strahorn learned that the route of the Philadelphia and Baltimore Central Railroad would pass through the crossroads later to be known as Toughkenamon, affording ready access to rail shipping. The new partnership of Strahorn, Pierson and Company opened at Toughkenamon in the spring of 1866 after purchasing a factory there. Samuel Strahorn died in November 1867 of "Typhomalarial Fever" which periodically swept through the Toughkenamon Valley. It appears that his wife retained the partnership interest, and a few years later their sons Joseph H. and Milton Strahorn were listed in the business. The factory was three stories high and some fifteen to twenty men were employed there, turning out 40,000 spokes, 1,200 sets of wheels, and a large number of hubs and other items each year. Machinery was driven by a twenty horsepower Corliss steam engine. Through the years, the capacity for finishing spokes increased to seven or eight hundred per day. The partnership was dissolved in 1890 and business was conducted thereafter solely by Isaac M. Pierson. Milton and Joseph Strahorn operated a carriage shop across the road in the same building that housed the blacksmith shop. Tragedy struck on Christmas day in 1903 when the wheel works was set afire, completely destroying the operation. It was written that a Toughkenamon firebug was responsible, and there is no further reference to the business. | |
| 1679 |  | Strahorn-Hutton-Evans Reconveyance From the Zentmyer Collection. Strahorn-Hutton-Evans was the livestock trading firm Robert formed late in his career. This document released a security interest in a herd of Texas cattle, and was executed by Robert Strahorn. | |

| 1687 |  | The farm of Bernhard Zentmeyer b.1740 near Arendtsville, Pennsylvania Bernhard bought this farm from John Goudy in 1780 for cash and a series of bonds. He refused to pay off the bonds, because we could not obtain clear title to the property. Recent research by us in 2020 confirms that Goudy was in fact a squatter, so he could not convey clear title. Bernhard apparently lost the farm at a sale for delinquent taxes on March 4, 1793. Image by Gary Zentmyer | |

| 1689 |  | The Hotel Medford, Medford Oregon In 1935 Robert Strahorn was embarking on his final business venture, an attempt to coax additional riches from formerly played-out mines in the northwest. His base for these explorations was Medford, Oregon. From Ninety Years of Boyhood: “So we settled down comfortably in homelike Hotel Medford, in the heart of the model little city of that name, facing the library, located in the center of a fine old park. There, with books in plenty, comfortable park seats her desire for quiet study and authorship, the declining Mrs. Strahorn could serenely regale herself and glory in a valley ablaze and sweetly scented with blossoming fruits and flowers, instead of enduring the trying situation in wilderness mining camps I pictured as we were leaving New York.” | |
