T. S. STRICKLAND, agent I. B. & W. Railway, London, was born in Sandusky County, Ohio, October 3, 1845. He is a son of Franklin M. Strickland, a native of Vermont, who located in Ohio about 1840. He was a farmer by occupation, and died in 1852, when but twenty-nine years of age. He married Hannah Chapel, a native of Connecticut. They were the parents of three children, all living, and our subject, the only one in Madison County. Mrs. Strickland subsequently married Rodney Mason, and one child was born to them, now deceased. Mrs. Mason resides with our subject in the sixty-sixth year of her age. T. S. was reared in Sandusky County, and early in life was in the commission business at Clyde, Ohio, under the firm name of M. C. Beamer & Co. This was in 1866. He remained with the firm six months, and then engaged in the clothing business. In the fall of 1869, he went to Iowa, coming back to Ohio in the fall of 1870. He was next employed by the L. S. & M. S. R. R., at Clyde, Ohio, in the capacity of baggageman and yardman. He remained in that position until the spring of 1878, when he came to London, and on April 1, accepted the position of agent of the C. S. & C. R. R. On May 1, 1881, this road was purchased by the I. B. & W., Mr. Strickland still retaining his position. Since he took charge of the London office, he has labored earnestly and faithfully to secure better facilities to shippers to and from this point, and to the increase of public travel. It is safe to say his efforts have met with good and increasing success. Mr. Strickland is a member of the Lodge and Encampment (I. O. O. F. ), and Republican in politics. He was married the first Tuesday in 1867, to Kate Stokes, a native of Sandusky County, Ohio. They have two children – Franklin and Elta.
