 | Frank and Jeanette's first residence in Los Angeles (right, front) From the Zentmyer Collection. This house is extant, it is currently addressed as 1641 Morton Ave., Los Angeles, California near Elysian Park. The Hobarts moved here in 1911, not long after the 1909 death of Joseph Brutsche, Jeanette's father, in Texas. | 6 Jul 2026 | |
 | George and Mary Zentmyer's house at 5929 Terrace Drive, Los Angeles From the Zentmyer Collection. George and Mary had this house built in 1925. After leaving for college and then marrying, sons John and George and their families returned to visit many times. We remember as children rolling down the front grass. | 1 Jul 2026 | |
 | "The end of John Calvin Strahorn's last run in North Platte." From the Zentmyer Collection. That is what is written on the back of this photo. This locomotive is a Baldwin Consolidation 2-8-0, a type which probably accounted for the vast majority of John's trips to and from North Platte. | 30 Jun 2026 | |
 | Birth Date for Benjamin Franklin Zentmyer This is the bottom of the Army Survivors Pension application of Carolyn Sands Zentmyer, Benjamin's mother, listing the birth dates of her children. The birth date for Benjamin Franklin Zentmyer of 23 May 1852 which is often seen was actually that of a different person, Benjamin A. Zentmyer. | 30 Jun 2026 | |

 | Brothers John C. and Robert E. Strahorn, Christmas 1924 From the Zentmyer Collection. The location is the vacant lot at 5929 Terrace Drive, Highland Park where John's daughter Mary and her husband George Zentmyer would build a new house in 1925, two doors west of the house in the background of the image, which still exists at 6007 Terrace Drive. In fact, the brothers could be sitting on the edge of a foundation excavation. | 19 Jun 2026 | |

 | Los Angeles Directory 1884 Thomas and his son Harry were living at 403 Mozart St. in 1884. Image courtesy Gary Zentmyer | 13 Jun 2026 | |
 | 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. | 13 Jun 2026 | |
 | 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. | 13 Jun 2026 | |
 | Headstone for Thomas Foster Strahorn Thomas, his second wife Rebecca Jane Kellogg, and their son Frank Kellogg Strahorn are all buried in the same plot in Rosedale Cemetery, just west of downtown Los Angeles, according to cemetery records there. We suspect the headstone was installed by Thomas' son Robert Edmund Strahorn after Robert became wealthy, since Thomas was a man of modest means. A smaller stone can be seen in front of the larger one, which reads, "T.F.S. Husband," possibly an earlier installation. No headstone is in evidence for Rebecca Jane Kellogg, even though she is buried in the same plot, but she was not Robert E. Strahorn's mother. (A curious omission -Ed). Robert's mother Rebecca Emmert and her parents have substantial headstones in Boalsburg, Pennsylvania, possibly also paid for by Robert.
