Plus hired help not extracted. The only obvious explanation for Elvina
not being with Walter is that he hasn't married her, yet, which means Fanny
is not Elvina's daughter, which jibes with Fanny's cemetery record (q.v.),
which lists her father as Walter STRAUB, but her mother as unknown.

6. Charles Robson, ed. 1876. The Biographical Encyclopaedia
of Ohio of the Nineteenth Century. Galaxy Publ. Co., Cincinnati,
OH, p. 40 (online at the Making
of America web site; boldface added):
| STRAUB, WALTER FERRY, Lawyer and Judge,
was born on the 13th of February, 1834, at Milton, Northumberland county,
Pennsylvania. This town was founded by his grandfather, Andrew
Straub, in 1791. Here also were born his father, Isaac Straub,
and his mother, Anne Straub. They survive still in the enjoyment
of a green old age, living a few miles from Cincinnati, in Kentucky.
In April, 1838, the family went to Cincinnati
to live, where the subject of this sketch has ever since resided.
At an early age Walter entered one of the district schools of the public
school system of Cincinnati. When the "Central School" (the nucleus
of the present High School of Cincinnati) was established he was one of
the boys selected, after a rigid examination, to enter upon the advanced
course there. He remained a pupil there until 1848, when, at the
age of fourteen, he found it necessary to commence work for a living.
From that time until 1853 he was, by turns, errand boy, clerk and bookkeeper.
During 1853 he was engineer at his father's factory. He had early
developed a taste for writing and considerable ability to the expression
of his ideas, and by this time had become a contributor to the newspaper
press of his city. During all this time he was a devoted student
at nights, which, he has told the writer of this sketch, "yielded good
fruit."
In 1854 he took the first important step of
his life, entering the office of Hon. Henry Stanbery as a law student.
He was admitted to the bar in 1857, and remained at it until the war of
the rebellion broke out, when he entered the Union army as Aide-de-Camp
to General McCook. He was compelled to leave the service, however,
in about a year by reason of ill health, which was brought about by an
attack of typhoid fever, contracted on the march to Shiloh, in which action
he participated. He returned to Cincinnati, where several months
of home nursing restored him to comparative health, although he has never
since been physically rugged.
In the spring of 1863 he was elected City
Prosecutor by the Republicans. At that time the writer's acquaintance
with him commenced. He discharged the onerous and important duties
of this position with such ability and fidelity that he was re-elected
for two years in 1865. In 1867, on the expiration of his second term
as Prosecutor, he was rewarded for his fidelity and manly course in that
place by election by the Republican party to the office of Judge of the
Police Court, which he held for three terms -- of two years each -- retiring
in 1873. Judge Straub distinguished himself on the bench of
the Police Court -- in the midst of the daily annoyances of an average
of fifty cases a day the year throughout for six years -- by almost unerring
judgment and never-failing truthfulness to his trust. He was severe
where severity was demanded; but he could and did temper justice with mercy
when there was a fair chance that the result would be better for society.
His mistakes were very few, if any, in disposing of cases. His record
as Judge of the Police Court is a bright paragraph in the history of the
Queen City of the West, no other person having remained in that office
so many years and given such universal satisfaction. Since his retirement
from the bench Judge Straub has pursued the practice of his profession. |
