My 2nd great-grandfather, Lucius Milton Strong (1803-1861) and Mary Ann (Marion) Culver (1807-1874) had ten children, two daughters and eight sons (six lived to adulthood). Four of the six served in the Civil War for Michigan.

My 2nd great-grandfather, Lucius, would have been proud but he died in 1861, so he never knew. The boys’ mother, Mary, lived to witness their service. My 4th great-grandfather, Nathaniel Strong, served in the Revolutionary War. 

Howell Fillmore Strong was born on January 2, 1840, in Brunswick, Ohio, to Lucious and Mary Ann (Culver) Strong. He married Mary Jane Roe on January 2, 1868 at Berrien, Michigan.  

Howell Strong died on July 21, 1913, in Los Angeles, California, at the age of 73 years.
