      Mr. Strohkirch was born in Germany, but lived many years in county Perth, Canada, before coming to this county, 13 years ago, when he settled in Buckeye a few miles east of the city, since which time he cleared a large farm and built good buildings thereon, and the country between Gladwin and his farm has been settled, good farms cleared and good roads opened, where before there were none.

The others are: Mrs. Kettel of Detroit, Mrs. Terry Hunt and Mrs. Phil Morgan of Gladwin, Mrs. E. E. Smallwood and Louis Strohkirch of Buckeye; sons Christian, Theodore and Julius who live at home.
