Strong was a man of positive character, sometimes brusque in manner, but always kindhearted and ready to help those in need. On June 20, 1883, he died, mourned by the whole city, and was buried here. On account of his interest in our public schools as a director for many years, that one near the city park is named for him, the Strong school.
