    In 1859 a two story stone house was built in Wellesley Township, a home that served the Straus family the balance of his days. Six more children were added to the family, a family that has since spread length and breadth of the province and beyond.

    Three years later, on December 26, 1887, Johannes Straus died at Wellesley Township, Ontario, Canada and was buried beside his wife, December 28, 1887, at St. Agatha's Roman Catholic Church Cemetery.
