A pioneer of Troy township. For some years Mr. Stryker has been in feeble health. He was the first white settler in Troy township and among the very first to locate in the Boone valley.
At the age of eight years he removed with his parents to Trumbull county, Ohio, where he attained his manhood. His father was a shoemaker by trade but the young man was trained as a farmer and received as good an education as the schools could give. When twenty-one years of age he moved to Indiana and remained there five years going to Bureau county, Illinois, where he resided until 1854. In that year with his family he came to Wright county with an ox and horse team, and taking six weeks for the journey. Here his first house was a rude log cabin 14x10 to which the next year, he built an addition of like kind and size. Subsequently logs gave way to frame and now the homestead is a good brick house, with all the appurtenances of a first-class farm.
In l835 he was wed to Miss Roxcena Wilcox in La Grange county, Indiana.
Mr. Stryker, a republican and has been a county supervisor and justice of the peace. He has been a member of the Methodist church for nearly sixty years..
