He received an academic education, and when nineteen years of age assumed the charge of the extensive lumber interests of his father at Canaan, N. H., where he remained three years. For the next five years he taught school in his native town during the winter, and spent the summer in travel. He then traveled two years in Kentucky, engaged in the sale of turbine water wheels and mill machinery. Returned home in March, 1861, and engaged in farming, in which he continued about three years. In August, 1864, he entered into partnership with his brother, Joel A., under the firm name of Stratton Bros., and engaged in flour, grain and lumber business at Leominster. This business was continued until the fall of 1878, when the brothers came to Kansas and located in Lyon County. They purchased one-half of the town site of Reading, and at once began the erection of a store building, in which, when completed, they put a stock of general merchandise. In December, 1880, the long-continued partnership was dissolved by mutual consent, M. W. retaining the real estate interests, and J. A. the store and mercantile business. Since that time the subject of this sketch has devoted his attention wholly to his real estate and insurance business. Mr. Stratton is a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church at Reading, of which he is one of the trustees. He is a member of Wilder Lodge, A., F. & A. M., Leominster, Mass. He has never taken an active part in politics. He has been twice married. By his first wife, Miss Mary J. Litchfield, daughter of Col. Jarius Litchfield, of Leominster, he had eight children, of whom Lillian M., Albert J., Jarius L., Ellen A. and Mary A. are living. She died October 20, 1875, and he married November 2, 1876, Mrs. Martha A. Gale, of Chelsea, Mass., daughter of Langdon Ladd, Esq., of Laconia, N. H. By this marriage he has one child, Edwin L.
