From "Reminicence of Elyria"
"Dr. Samuel Strong came to Elyria in 1833 and was partner with Dr. Manter the first year of his residence here. He was untiring in his practice and very zealous, watching day and night by the sick, inspiring them with hope and effort to live. He built the brick house on Park & Third st., now owned by Mr. Frank Townsend which was considered remarkable for its inside finish of carved panels in black walnut doors, mouldings and staircase. Dr. Samuel Strong died in 1850, forty four years of age. Mrs. Edwin Mussey is the only descendent. The son Samuel, of Cleveland died a sudden distressing death by accidental burning in his own home."

Chronicle Telegram, September 7, 1928, recalling the early days of Elyria;
"In 1832, the inhabitants of Elyria took alarm over a threatened epidemic of cholera and hastily organized the first Board of Health, Dr. Manter was President, John S. Matson was secretary. Other members were, Conrad Reid, Dr. Samuel Strong, Buel Jones, Daniel T. Baldwin. Out of this organization later grew the Lorain County Medical Society"

“In early spring, State Engineer Dodge, with his corps of assistants, came in from Coshocton, and Wooster, surveying what was termed the Kilbuck and Black River Canal. As the engineers came down real estate went up.

About this time Dr. Samuel Strong put in an appearance. His first purchase of real estate was some five acres of Land taken from the farm of Conrad Reid. adjoining the village plat of Black River. This was mapped out on paper, with streets. lanes, etc., and sales commenced. Every person in Black River that could write, and had any leisure time, was set to writing out articles of agreement for the doctor and his purchasers The five acres were soon exhausted and the doctor bought six acres from the same farm, adjoining the five acres."
