Mr. Strode, in his early life, lived two years in Lancaster. He was born January 19, 1799, in Berkeley County, Va. He came with his father, Edward Strode, to Fairfield County in 1804. Sept. 6, 1829, he married Rebecca Arnold, daughter of Daniel Arnold. In 1830 he moved to Lancaster and entered the tanyard of his father-in-law and learned the tanner's trade. This tanyard was on the lots now occupied by a frame row on Wheeling Street, long known as the Maccracken row. After two years apprenticeship, he moved to his father's farm in Hocking Township, where he sank a tanyard and carried on the business in connection with his farm. His son, Thomas Strode, was born in Lancaster. Geo. H. Strode was a good citizen, an intelligent, well-read man, and a model gentleman in every respect. He was a good business man and especially endowed with good common sense. He was a Christian, from childhood a member of the Methodist Church. His mother was called a "saintly woman" by Bishop Asbury, who preached at her house. Mr. Strode reared a large family of children, who honor his memory and profit by his example. He died Feb. 5, 1876.
