GEORGE F. STRONG.
In 1841, while residing in Boston, he was united in marriage to Miss Mary P. Shea, who survives him, and shares the heavy burden of his loss with his three sons, John T., Geo. E., and J. Frank Strong, all of this city. ''Mr. Strong was a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church for over fifty years, and united with the congregation of the Central M. E. Church soon after coming to Lansing. At that time the society had no edifice of its own, but occupied representative hall in the old capitol. Mr. Strong became one of its trustees and rendered efficient service in the construction of the present church building. He was tireless in laboring for the best interests of the society, and every member regarded him with the utmost esteem and respect.
His every-day life was characterized by spotless integrity and honorable dealing with all. Kindly, affable and generous, he endeared himself to all with whom he came in contact, and has departed without leaving a single enemy to speak ill of his memory, nor a mean or unkind action to blot the margin of a clean-cut and noble life. —Lansing Republican, April 16, 1885.
