Strong, a pioneer resident of Hawarden and vicinity, passed away at 9:30 Saturday morning at his home 10 miles southeast of Hawarden from a heart attack. Mr. Strong had enjoyed unusually good health the past winter until last Friday evening when he suffered a heart attack about 7:30. A physician was summoned and he was ordered to bed for six weeks. Saturday morning he suffered a second attack and death claimed him about 15 minutes later before medical aid could reach him. Funeral services were held at St. Mary's church in this city at 9 o'clock Tuesday morning and the requiem high mass was said by Rev. Fr. R. Graf. Interment was made in Calvary cemetery. Stephen Eaton Strong was born at Portage, Wis., April 3, 1865, and passed away March 8, 1941, having attained the age of almost 76 years. He grew up in Wisconsin but came to Iowa at the age of 19 years, and later homesteaded on the farm in Plymouth county which he occupied at the time of his death. In 1897 he came to Hawarden and in partnership with his cousin, Robert Gamble, operated an implement shop here for six years. He was united in marriage with Miss Elizabeth Burke at LeMars January 31, 1899. They continued to make their home in Hawarden until 1911 when he returned to his farm in Plymouth county and since then he lived there continuously until his death. Tuesday, the day of his funeral, marked the 30th anniversary of his return to the farm after living in Hawarden. Besides his wife he is survived by four children, Gaylord of Chicago; Phillip of Cincinnati, Ohio; Mrs. Basil Mill of Ottumwa, Iowa, and Arthur at home. He also leaves one brother, J.G. Strong of Gabriel, Calif., and two grandchildren. Mr. Strong was of a quiet and unassuming disposition but he had those qualities which enabled him to make and hold friends. He was honest and upright in his dealings with his fellowmen and he won the respect of all who knew him. He took an active part in the affairs of his community and for many years he served as president of the school board. As a father and husband he was loyal and faithful and his wife and children have suffered a great loss but they will long cherish his memory for his kind deeds and thoughtfulness. Out of town relatives who came to attend the funeral were Mr. and Mrs. Basil Mill of Ottumwa, Iowa; Gaylord Strong of Chicago; Philip Strong of Cincinnati, Ohio; Mr. and Mrs. Frank Coats, Alphonso Gamble and Miss Alice Burke of Sioux City.
