Rebecca Jane KELLOGG

1842 - 1913  (70 years)

• Name	Rebecca Jane KELLOGG
  Nickname	Jennie
  Birth	17 Mar 1842	Mifflin, Juniata, Pennsylvania
  Gender	Female
  Death	21 Feb 1913	Los Angeles, Los Angeles, California
  Burial	Rosedale Cemetery, Los Angeles, California, Section O, Lot 74, #2SW
  Notes	Thomas, his second wife Rebecca Jane, and their son Frank Kellog Strahorn are all buried in the same plot in Rosedale Cemetery, just west of downtown Los Angeles. I suspect the headstone was installed by his son Robert Edmund Strahorn after he became wealthy, since Thomas was a man of little means. A much more modest stone can be seen in front of the larger one, which reads, "T.F.S. Husband." No headstone is in evidence for Rebecca Jane, but she was not Robert's mother, who has a substantial headstone in Boalsburg, Pennsylvania. 1894 City Directory living at 907 Mozart St., Los Angeles 1895 City Directory living at 907 Mozart St., Los Angeles 1900 Census living with Retta Strahorn and Arthur Strahorn 1902 City Directory, living at 2619 Manitou Ave., Los Angeles 1910 Census living with Waldo and Retta Strahorn Scott

  		403 Mozart St., Los Angeles This is where Thomas and Jennie Strahorn and their son Harry were residing in the mid 1880s. The map is from a Sanborn Insurance Map dated 1888. Address numbers have changed at least twice, in the 1890s the house was addressed as 907 Mozart St., it is now addressed as 2707 Mozart St. The structure in the backyard on the Sanborn map was a fifteen foot high windmill and water tank, apparently there was no municipal water service at the time the house was built. Domestic water service was established in Lincoln Heights in 1874. Thomas' son Frank was recorded as living here as late as 1890.
  		907 Mozart St. This is from the the 1894 Sanborn Fire Insurance Map, and Jennie Strahorn was listed as living here in the 1894 and 1895 Los Angeles Directories. The Strahorns owned the entire parcel, from Mozart to Baldwin, apparently it was later subdivided.
