MR. AND MRS. JAMES K. STRANAHAN 1883
By Mrs. A.B. Jones

James K. Stranahan was a native of Essex County, New York.
He and his wife, Permalia (Reynolds) Stranahan, arrived in Hood River two weeks after the first train had passed through the town.
In his early life Mr. Stranahan was a teacher, teaching and speaking several different languages fluently. All his long life he was a reader and a great student.
He died at the age of eighty seven years, an example of loving charity for all. Mrs. Stranahan died at the age of seventy five years, loved and mourned by all who knew her.
Of their children, Mrs. Ann Hayes, Mrs. Marybeth Crowell and Horace Stranahan still remain. Also Henry, Oscar and William. Horace celebrated his 96th birthday March 12, 1941. Well and happy.
