General Notes: Husband - David Strouss

---

He was a tanner by trade, came to Beaver County, Pennsylvania, in 1847, and engaged in farming.

He was born in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, and when grown to manhood, conducted his father's mill and also learned the tanner's trade, which was one of the best trades in practical use in his day. He leased Hood's tannery in Allegheny county, which he operated for some time, but, later, leased a tannery in Washington county. After running that very successfully for years, and accumulating some capital, he discontinued working at his trade, and invested some of his surplus cash in a farm situated in Hanover township, Beaver County. This farm was later owned by his sons, William and David M. Besides this farm, David Strouss owned other farming property. He was an energetic man; he arose at break of day and all his children were on hand, also, to accomplish a good day's work. His motto was "strike while the iron is hot,"-and everything was done by rule and in due time. In this way, progress was the natural result. Although he was ambitious, Mr. Strouss was also kind and charitable. At the age of sixty-six years, he took down the gun which always hung over the door, with the intention of cleaning it for the purpose of protecting his sheep from the ravages of dogs. As the gun had not been used in a long time, it was not supposed to be loaded. Mr. Strouss raised the hammer and blew in the gun, when it was discharged into his face, causing his death.
