      Notes:

      Mahon Strawn, son of Hiram and Catherine Strawn married Polly but was divorced from her. They had one child who was born and died in infancy. He did not marry again. He went to live with his sister, Nancy in Niangua, Missouri. Supposedly Mahlon
      and his younger brother were burned to death in a log cabin fire in 1900 but currently we are showing his brothers death date as 1906 which would make this impossible. The Winnebago County, Illinois History of 1877 lists Mahlon as a laborer. He
      was a cooper by trade. Bert Limar Franklin, grandson of Nancy Strawn Franklin Watson says, the following came from Iowa to Niangua, Missouri, to get away from the cold winters in Iowa. They were Mr & Mrs Frank Watson (Nancy Strawn), Mr & Mrs
      George Watson, Mr and Mrs Elijah Franklin and daughter, Hiram and Mahlon Strawn and William Wilson.

      "Mahlon and Hiram slept in a log cabin in the backyard on this place where we lived."

      Notes:

      Nancy Strawn, daughter of Hiram and Catherine Strawn. Nancy was considered the angel of the family of 17 children. She not only cared for her father but had two of her brothers, Hiram and Mahlon, until they died. Elijah, Her first husband, died
      while in the Civil War. They first lived in Winnebago County, Illinois then moved to Northeastern Iowa. But they left Iowa and removed to Missouri to get away from cold winters. They resided 6 1/2 miles southeast of Niangua, Missouri. Nancy
      Strawn (Grandmother Watson as her family knew her) as we knew her lost 4 of her 6 children by typhoid fever. Her grandson, Bert Franklin, who was living in Springfield, Missouri in 1956, says, "We have a small table made by James Strawn for his
      mother, Catherine Winemute, dated 1840; also a kitchen table they had when they lived in Canada and a bedspread made by Nancy Strawn Franklin from wool she raised. It is blue and white. She did the spinning and weaving, gathered rye straw and
      made hates for her family and did all the cooking. We have a pair of mittens she knit, black with a red star on the back. She also traveled many miles on horseback to wait on the sick. No wonder she was called the 'Angel of the Family'."

      Alonzo Strawn, son of Hiram and Catherine Strawn. Alonzo was brought to Winnebago County, Illnois by his parents in 1833. He enlisted in the 55th Volunteer Infantry Regiment of Ilinois during the Civil War and was injured. Some of his ribs were
      broken while unloading Army supplies. At his dicharge, he lived on a farm near Rockford, Winnebago County, Illinois, then moved to Michigan awhite and then moved back to Illinois. He then moved to Iowa and than Missouri and then back to Iowa
      and finally to California where he hoped to live near his son, Milo. He was afflicted with paralysis 5 years before his death. This story was related to J Donald Strawn in January of 1959 from the granddaughter of Alonza (Arlie Emma Strawn
      Kemmerer) -

      "I so well can remember my Grandfather Alonza. As the story goes, I was his pet. I can picture him yet in his paralized condition. He were kid gloves many years due to a eczema condition of hands, night & day. I stay'd with him so much as a
      little girl and played his graphaphone for him, got his tobacco for him and listened to his stories. He was a Lion to some and a Lamb to others - as the old saying goes 'Roars like a Lion, Gentle as a Lamb'. My brother Theodore Alonzo, who
      lives fifty-seven miles from me in Cedar Rapids, IA, was named by Grandfather Alonzo. He made a bargain with my mother to name him after Teddy Roosevelt which she didn't like. Alonzo said 'Well, she settled for a fancy reed baby carriage."
