Strother, one of the most successful farmers of Hardin county, was born in Hardy county, Virginia, June 17, 1821. His parents were natives of Virginia. His father died while he was quite young; his mother re-married while on a visit to friends in Ohio, to Mr. James Ward of Muskingum county, and coming back to Virginia, she brought him, at five years of age, to his new home in Ohio, making the trip of over 200 miles on horseback. As that was long before the days of railroads, they thus became pioneers of that county. At the age of fourteen he went to live with a Mr. Cooper, with whom he remained until twenty-one years of age. On the 15th of February, 1849 he was married to Miss Caroline Predmore in Hancock county, Ohio, a daughter of the Rev. Mason Predmore, a well-known Methodist Episcopal Minister of that county; her mother's maiden name was Jane Caton, a native of Pennsylvania. Her father died in Clayton county, Iowa, December 27, 1860, and her mother in Cass county, Iowa, February 25, 1879. Mr. Strother, after his marriage, remained in Ohio one year, and then removed to Clayton county, Iowa, living there a short time. In 1855, having sold out his farm, he removed with his family to Olmstead county, Minnesota, and from there, he in August, 1864, removed to Hardin county, Iowa, settling in Pleasant township, section 17, where he now resides. There has been born to them seven children, six of whom are living -- Thomas W., born December 28, 1849, of whom mention is elsewhere made; James B., born November 10, 1851; Etna J., born October 16, 1853; Moses H., born March 19, 1855; Bruce W., July 26, 1858; Mary M., born November 20, 1859; Effie I., born June 11, 1863. Of these the oldest was born in Hancock county, Ohio; the next two in Clayton county, Iowa, and the last four in Olmstead county, Minnesota. Mr. Strother has been generally identified with the Democratic party, but is conservative in his views. While devoting his whole life to farming, he always has devoted some time and attention to the raising of fine stock, and has raised some fine specimens of Short Horns; he intends hereafter to pay more attention to the raising of horses and hogs, believing them to be more profitable. He is the owner of one of the best watered and stock farms in the county, being well provided with barns, sheds, etc. His farm consists of 276 1/2 acres of good land, nearly all under fence, there being now over six miles of fence on the place. The land is valued at $40 per acre.
