STRONG: From 1853 to 1883 one of the most influential and potent personalities of Beloit was Dr. Henry Partridge Strong. Born in Brownington, Vermont, February 8, 1832, he came to Beloit in July, 1853. ... An ardent Republican in politics, and with his veins running full of the patriotic blood of his sires of the Green Mountain State, he entered the military service of the country in 1861 as the surgeon of the Eleventh Wisconsin Infantry, in which he continued until, broken in health, he was forced to retire in 1863, at which time he was Surgeon-in-Chief of the Fourteenth Division of the Thirteenth 'Army Corps. As soon as his health permitted, he resumed the practice of his profession, and from that time until his death his interest in public affairs knew no abatement. He was called upon to fill many local offices. He was five times elected Mayor of Beloit; he was a member of the School Board for many years; he filled honorable appointive State positions, and in 1870 was appointed Postmaster, which office he held continuously until his death, June 20, 1883, at the age of 51 years. Dr. Strong was a man who made friends and kept them. Genial, generous, sympathetic, high-spirited and frank to brusqueness, his friendship was prized by all who secured it. Hating hyprocrisy, shams and deceitfulness with an intense hatred, he was at no pains to conceal it, and while making some robust enemies he found his compensation in the unfaltering loyalty of his wide circle of friends. In 1857 Dr. Strong married Sarah, daughter of Rev. Dexter Clary, of Beloit. Seven sons and two daughters were born to him, of whom but one, a son, survived him.
