LUCIOUS STRONG.

For many years Ms. Strong was a foremost farmer of Newton township, where his tine farm of 320 acres is located. (See illustration of residence on page ten.) Ohio is his native state, though about thirty of his sixty years have been spent in Jasper county. He has now been living in Rensselaer for five years, where he has a very comfortable home. As a democrat Mr. Strong served his township as trustee for a dozen years or more, though since the formation of the people's party he has been one of its ardent supporters. He is an active worker in the movement for a better understanding of scientific farming and takes great interest in the farmers' institutes, of which he is the president. His wife was Miss Clara Ponsler, and their wedded life began about twenty-five years ago. They have one daughter, Ada. (Mrs. D. M. Yeoman.)
