These folks had a house near my parents in Venango County. The Snyder County tie-in may be of interest to someone, so thought I would pass it along. T.S. Strohecker, farmer, was born May 12, 1829, at Lewisburg, PA, son of Jacob and Susanna (Snyder) Strohecker, the former a native of Berks County, born in 1800, a farmer and brick maker, and now deceased, the latter still resides at Lewisburg at the advanced age of ninety years. Our subject received his education at the Lewisburg Academy. In 1858 he recruited company 1., Fifty-seventh Pennsylvania Volunteers, of which he became captain, and was subsequently promoted to the lieutenant colonelcy. He retired from the service in consequence of a wound received at the battle of Fredericksburg, and has since devoted his attention to farming and oil producing. He is a well-known writer on agricultural subjects and ranks with the most progressive and successful farmers of the county. Colonel Strohecker was married in 1850 to Catharine Bachman, of middleburg, Snyder County, Pennsylvania, and they are the parents of four children: Winfield S., of Cranberry Township; Susan M., wife of G.W.Bower, of Rouseville; Mary E., wife of L.L. Ray, of Cooperstown, and Gertrude. He is a member of the G.A.R., and was the first commander of the post at Cooperstown.
