                     GEORGE STRINGHAM

George Stringham was born in Rush,Monroe CO., New York, in the years 1823. He 
was one of a family of thirteen children, three of whom are still living-a 
brother and sister in the State of New York, and one brother in this state. He 
was brought up under the Quaker or Friends discipline, his parents being firm 
believers in that faith. When he was a small boy his parents removed to 
Oakfield, Genesee Co. N.Y.. At the age of 34 year he was married to Juliaette 
DuBois, of Victor, Ontario Co., N.Y. Before their removal to this state three 
children were born to them, Clara E. Stringham, George A. Stringham and Sarah C. 
Stringham, the former two residing at their present home, the latter, now 
Mrs.W.J. Ramsey, residing in Sebewa, Ionia Co..Upon his removal with his family 
to Michigan, in November, 1866, he purchased a farm one and one half miles south 
of Ionia, where he lived five years. After disposing of this farm he purchased 
another, one and one half mile north, west of Portland, where he was a resident 
at the time of his death. He died at the age of 65 years, having lived an 
unbroken family life of 31 years.Fourteen years ago a distant relative's child 
was brought to his home where he has since been a member of the family.
