STRANG, B. D. farmer and stock raiser, Sec. 33, P.O. White Hall. The subject of this sketch, who has been more than ordinarily successful as a farmer, was born in Greene County in 1839; his boyhood was passed on the old homestead of his parents, Benjamin and Martha Strang; his father passed away in 1843. December, 1863, the subject of this sketch was united in marriage to Miss Louisa Crist, a daughter of David Crist, whose biographical sketch appears elsewhere, by whom he had one child, Benjamin F., who died in early infancy. Mrs. Strang died in 1864; three years later Mr. Strang was married to Miss Minnie Bean, a daughter of Frederick Bean, one of the earliest settlers of Scott Co., and a native of Kentucky; of five children born of this marriage, four are living: Leslie H., Frederick, Martha A. and Walter Benjamin. In connection with C. F. Strang, a brother, he owns 1400 acres in the counties of Scott and Greene; an achievement surely for two young men who are still in the prime of life.
