In the death last Thursday morning of Joseph Strang, Douglas county lost one of its oldest and most respected citizens. Mr. Strang was in the fullest sense of the word a pioneer. He was born in Rhode Island April 18, 1816, and while quite young went to Prince Edward's Island. when twenty-one years of age he married Elizabeth Murrary. In 1845 Mr. Strang and his young family moved to the United States, settling in King county, Illinois, where they lived five years, after which they moved to Iowa. In May 1855, the deceased came to Minnesota and took a preemption claim in Rice county near Faribault. Late that fall the family came to the new home. At the close of the civil war the younger members of the family found homes in Hudson, this county, when a new country, and in the fall of 1867 Mr. Strang also came to Hudson to make a new home in the then sparsely settled country. He took a homestead in sections two and three of Hudson and built a new home for his declining years. Here he and his aged wife lived until the latter's death in 1885. Since that time Mr. Strang has lived with his son, Jesse.
