• Notes

  Arthur was a soil scientist with the Bureau of Soils, U.S. Department of Agriculture. If you google "Soil Survey - Strahorn" you will find twenty or so books he wrote about local soil conditions in the West, especially with regard to their potential for irrigation. I knew him as a retiree living on his property in Porterville, which was full of orange trees. He would send us a case of oranges every year. He was a kind and thoughtful man, and I am his namesake. He attended our wedding in 1973 at the age of 97. - Gary Arthur Zentmyer 1885 Census in Weld, Colorado 1900 Census in North Platte, Lincoln, Nebraska 1901 13 June graduated from University of Nebraska, Lincoln, Bachelor of Science 1910 Census in Madera, California 1918 Draft registration in Big Piney, Wyoming, USDA Field Agent 1920 Census in Colorado Indian Reservation, Yuma, Arizona 1930 Census in Yuma, Yuma, Arizona 1940 Census (1935 Residence) Washington D.C. 1940 Census in Montgomery, Maryland 1942 lived at 5 Chacon Pl., Albuquerque, New Mexico. 1953-1954 listed in Polk's Porterville Directory living at 496 Vandalia Ave., Porterville
