JARED STRANG.—The subject of this sketch is a son of Nathaniel and Elizabeth
Strang, and was born on Prince Edward's Island, March 12, 1837. His ancestors
were early settlers of New York, and his grandfather on his mother's side was a
participant in the Revolutionary war. Jared's boyhood days were spent on his
father's farm. When ten years old, his father removed to West Duxbury,
Massachusetts. In the spring of 1858 Jared came to California, via the Isthmus,
and soon settled in Sierra valley, joining his father, who had come in 1856, his
mother having died when he was a small boy. They went into the cattle business,
which they continued until 1867, when Jared purchased his father's interest. He
located a quarter-section of land, to which he has since added 260 acres, making
420 acres in all. Mr. Strang is a member of two firms, the heaviest cattle
dealers in Sierra valley, handling from five to ten thousand head annually. The
firms are Rowland, Flint, Hainten, & Strang, and Strang & Humphrey, and they
have been associated together for nine years. Mr. Strang mines to some extent,
and is the sole owner of the Blue Gravel mine. He was married in November, 1865,
to Eleanor Mickey of Illinois, by whom he had four children; viz., Ada, born
October 6, 1866, died in 1870; Steven L., born October 20, 1867; Jared W., born
October 1, 1871; Ida, born June 20, 1875. He was again married August 1, 1880,
to Mrs. Lula Currier Robbins, daughter of Isaac C. and Elizabeth Currier of
Androscoggin, Maine. By this union there has been one son, Earle L., born April
30, 1881. By her first husband, Mrs. Strang had one son, Herbert S. Robbins,
born November 3, 1877. A view of their residence and surroundings can be seen on
another page. Mr. Strang is a member of the Sierra Valley Lodge No. 184, F. & A. M.
