702 Past and Present of Hardin County, Iowa edited by William J. Moir. Indianapolis: B. F. Bowen, 1911.

"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. (grandparents were actually Samuel Strahorn & Hannah Gheen -Ed.)

Frank P. Strahorn received a common school education. In 1874 he was married to Cynthia Bird, the daughter of Ebenezer and Eliza Bird, of Hardin county. Her father was a native of New York, and her mother of Ohio. They came to Iowa in 1865, and purchased a farm in Hardin county, on which they lived until their death. Her father died in May, 1900, her mother in March, 1880. Her grandfather was a soldier in the war of 1812. Her father's family consisted of seven children, of whom the four following are living: Ella, now Mrs. Hathaway, of Nebraska; Charles H., of Hardin county; Alice, now Mrs. Bird, married a cousin; and Cynthia, Mrs. Strahorn. The deceased are Frank W., Luther and John.

Mr. and Mrs. Strahorn began married life on their present farm, then consisting of two hundred and eighty acres, where they have continued to live and to which they have added other land, until they now own four hundred and forty acres, a highly improved farm, with substantial buildings. Mr. Strahorn is a very successful farmer and business man and one of the best known and most respected citizens of his township. He keeps a good grade of stock and feeds for the market. In politics he is a Democrat and held the office of township trustee for several years. Fraternally, he is a member of the Masons and also of the Modern Woodmen of America.

Mr. Strahorn's family consists of his wife and nine children. Mrs. Strahorn was a successful teacher in the common schools before her marriage, and three of her daughters, Nellie, Bessie and Grace, were well known teachers of Hardin county, Grace being now employed as a teacher. The children, with the dates of their birth, are as follows: Herbert, November 2, 1875; Nellie, now Mrs. Wilkinson, March 26, 1877; Harry, March 9, 1879; Ray, July 31, 1881; Bessie, now Mrs. Irwin T. Wilson, October 29, 1883; Anna, now Mrs. Frank M. Wilson, December 7, 1886; George, September 11, 1888; Grace, who attended the state normal at Cedar Falls for two terms, June 19, 1891; Lyle R., March 26, 1893.

Mr. and Mrs. Strahorn are people who have made a financial success of life and who have sacrificed nothing in the development of character to do this. They are widely read and well informed, and their family and domestic life has been very pleasant. Known to many people of the township, they are favorably thought of by all."

708 Peter Witwer dies suddenly
Peter Witwer, a well-known and highly respected citizen of Warwick township, living on his farm about a mile east of Kissel Hill, was found dead in bed at 5 o'clock Thursday morning, death having come an hour or two previous. He had been ailing of late and Dr. Roebuck was to see him on Wednesday evening, but nothing serious manifested itself. Mr. Witwer was one of Warwick's staunchest Republicans and an active public worker. He served as school director of the township for two terms and was treasurer of the board. He was a man well posted in public affairs and kept himself well informed of the daily doings of the world by giving attention to the newspapers. His age was nearly 73 years. A wife and six children survive. The funeral will take place on Monday at 10 o'clock A.M. Services and interment at Kissel Kill Lutheran church. Rev. I. W. Bobst will officiate.

712 Plymouth had been occupied by Union forces from 1862 until April 1864, when the Confederate forces launched a counter attack. During the night of April 18th, the iron-clad Albemarle, taking advantage of an abnormally high river level, safely passed over obstructions which had been placed in the Roanoke River by the Union Army and slipped undamaged past Fort Gray, west of Plymouth. In the predawn hours of April 19th, the Albemarle encountered the Southfield and the Miami, the most powerful Union vessels on the Roanoke. The Albemarle promptly sank the first and heavily damaged the second, forcing the Miami and two other gunboats to retreat. Late that afternoon, the Confederates launched a double envelopment attack against both the east and west sides of the town. The Union General Henry Wessels unconditionally surrendered his entire command on April 20th. But on October 28, 1864 Lt. William Cushing and twenty-two men sailed up the Roanoke River in a 30 foot steam launch with a lanyard-detonated torpedo mounted on a spar and after reaching the Albemarle, detonated it against the hull creating a hole "big enough to drive a wagon in." She sank immediately in six feet of water, paving the way for Union forces to retake Plymouth a few days later.

750 Reverend Gershom Hobart graduated from Harvard in 1667. He resided in Plymouth, Groton, and Hingham Massachusetts. He was ordained in Groton, where he was the pastor of the Congregational Church there. The minister and the congregation did not always live together harmoniously. There was much dissension about his salary and where the new meeting house would be built to replace the one burned by the Indians in the 1676 massacre. He was dismissed in Dec 1685, but continued to preach in Groton occasionally for almost 20 more years. Gershom lost two children in the second massacre of Groton on 27 Jul 1694. One was killed, and the other, nine year old Gershom, was held captive for nearly a year before being ransomed from his captors.  HOBART, Reverend Gershom Sr. (I85810)
