Photo of Daniel W. Strong

From: "Edward Hodges" ehodges@ix.netcom.com

Three years ago, I asked for your help in locating the death date and burial site for Daniel W. Strong – co-founder of the Central Pacific Railroad. As you can see ... your help proved fruitful. But wait – there's more – I did more digging and found a descendant of "Doc" Strong who had a photograph of him – this is a big deal – because – up to this time, no publically available image of him has been available. Thanks to Peggy Gailbraith – Strong's photo is available ...
