Biography should be written for the sake of its lessons; that men everywhere may place themselves in contact with facts and affairs, and build themselves up to and into a life of excellence, where they may keep and augment their individuality. For this reason a sketch of Henry M. Strawbridge is here given, his career having been both honorable and useful. Industry, frugality and honesty were the principles instilled into the life of their son by the parents of Mr. Strawbridge, and who can doubt but these principles have had much to do with his success. He was born in Baltimore County, Md. May 12, 1831, to Joseph and Rebecca (Manifold) Strawbridge, both natives of York County, Pa., and farmers by occupation. The children born to them were named as follows: Isaac, Henry M., William F., Joseph, Lydia A., and Rebecca J. There were also two children that died in infancy. The paternal grandfather, Isaac Strawbridge, was a native of Pennsylvania and all his life gave his attention to tilling the soil. His father, Joseph Strawbridge, was born in England, but in early manhood came to America and was a patriotic, law-abiding citizen. Henry M. Strawbridge was born on the parents’ farm in Baltimore County, and there his boyhood days were spent in various duties and in becoming familiar with the work of tilling the soil intelligently. His ancestors for three generations before him were farmers, and it is therefore not to be wondered at that upon commencing for himself he should choose the same occupation. His labors were interrupted, however, by the opening of the Civil War, but it was not until October 3, 1864, that he enlisted in the service, becoming a private in Company A, Purnell’s Cavalry Maryland Volunteers. He served until the close and received his discharge at Fortress Monroe, Va., July 28, 1865, and although he did not participate in any engagements he showed his willingness to give his life for his country. At the early age of twenty years, Mr. Strawbridge married Miss Elizabeth Almoney, who was born in Harford County, Md. As the years rolled by, ten children were added to their household, two of whom died in infancy unnamed. Those who reached maturity were named as follows. John W., Rebecca C., Mary J., deceased; Lydia A., Sarah A., A. Sherman, Benjamin A. and Joseph H. The farm owned by Mr. Strawbridge contains one hundred and thirty-two acres, well improved with good buildings and tilled in a careful and intelligent manner. He is a strictly self-made man, is actively interested in all public matters, and can at all times be relied on to give aid where it is most needed. A strong Republican politically, he is also a member of the Wann Post, G.A.R., of Forest Hill, Md. He and his wife have for some time been members of the Methodist Protestant Church.
