HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE ARTICLE ON DANIEL STRANG
The finely appointed homestead of this gentleman is one of the noticeable
features of section 1, of Quincy Township, and embraces 195 acres of valuable
land, the proceeds of which each year net to its proprietor a handsome income.

(Warner) Strand, the father a farmer by occupation, and who spent his last years
in this county.  The mother died when her son was but a few months old, leaving
