The family lived in Woolwich and Elmira for a few years, then for about 26 years they lived in Pilkington, where their son Noah, now resides.

Twelve years ago Mr. and Mrs. Strome retired from the farm and became residents of Elmira. Mr. Strome who was of a quiet retiring disposition was highly respected and was a consistent member of the Evangelical Association about 40 years.
