   CHARLES F. STRAWN retired, P.O. Richland Center, was born 
in 1836, in the house where he now resides.  His 
great-great-grandfather, Jacob, came to America some time 
previously to Penn's settlement of Philadelphia.  His 
grandfather, Danie Strawn, was married three times.  His 
first wife bore him four children and his second wife 
fourteen, sixteen of whom lived and reared families.  There 
were no children by the third wife.  Thomas, our subject's 
father, married Mary, daughter of Caspar Johnson, of this 
county.  She bore him six children, three of whom are 
living.  She died in 1827, and in 1829 he was married to 
Miss Jane F., daughter of Benjamin Foulke, of this county.  
Four children were born to this marriage, Charles F. being 
the only one living.  Our subject was married in 1862 to 
Miss Warwick, daughter of Charles F. and Margaret Warwick, 
of this county.  They have three children: Harry W., living 
in Philadelphia; Fred P. and Jennie F.   Mr. Strawn received 
a common-school education and learned the cabinet-making 
trade.  After attaining his majority he was engaged in 
cabinet-making, which occupation he followed until he 
purchased his farm.
