Upon returning home, Strong went to his rooms, where fcis daughter Anne, 9, found him upon the floor shortly after noon. He was pronounced dead a short time later. Was Outstanding Athlete Physicians said death was due to stoppage of the blood vessels into the, heart. Prior to his graduation from Beloit college in 1905, Mr. Strong was an outstanding athlete, starring in many sports.

Strong applied to his business the same determination that had made him a star athlete. His rise was rapid. He became auditor and business manager in turn and then, after the death of Lawson, he was selected president of the company, which he organized to buy the paper from the Lawson estate for $13,671,704. Moved to New riant During his six years as publisher, the News was moved from its old headquarters on Wells street to its new $10,00p,000 building, one of the finest newspaper plants in the world.
