Black and white photograph of the house of Charles Strong (b. October 6th, 1853) and Mary Brown (b. June 15th, 1862). The pair married on September 5th, 1880 and had three children - Grover (b. March 9th, 1886), Ceiver (b. March 15th, 1891), and Gladys (b. December 6th, 1897). Charles made whetstones from a stone quarry in South Worthington. There is a photo of him and Rev. Moody in said stone quarry in the Reverend's book on South Worthington (plate IV, #7). As of 1905 Charles and Mary kept three cows, a pair of oxen, one horse, and 200 hens on 400 acres. According to Rev. Moody, 'Mr. Merritt built the shop. Asa Merritt and John Pomeroy built the parsonage which was burned in 1899. The Merritt family always attended church.' Moody also notes that Ebenezer White (1807-1873) and Mary Tilden (1816-1899) had lived just above the Strong's place. Featured in The South Worthington Parish by Rev. George Reed Moody (1905), page 54, plate II, #16.
