p. 1056 Charles H. Stroup, a prominent citizen of Johnstown, is a member of a well known pioneer family of Cambria County.  He was born in this city, Feb. 6, 1870, and is the son of Daniel and Catherine (Steiner) Stroup.

Daniel Stroup, deceased, was born in Philadelphia.  In 1850, he came to Johnstown with Benjamin Hinchman, and they were the first masons and bricklayers in the city.  For many years Mr. Stroup was identified with the Cambria Iron Company.  He died in April 1890.  He was a Whig when he came to Cambria County and became a Republican when that party was organized.  He was a member of the Universalist Church and Independent Order of Odd Fellows.  His wife died Nov. 11, 1911.  To Mr. and Mrs. Stroup the following children were born: John M., died in 1907; Daniel W. and James, deceased; Sally, died in 1889, during the Johnstown flood; Sherman T., died in 1918; Charles H., the subject of this sketch; George and Millard, both deceased.

Charles H. Stroup received his education in the schools of Johnstown and attended Bennett & Greer Business College.  He entered the employ of the Cambria Iron Company at an early age, where he learned the brick-layer's trade.  Following the Johnstown flood, he engaged in the contracting business until 1917.  Mr. Stroup organized the Elton (Pa.) Lumber and Supply Company in 1924 and is its vice president.

Transcriber's Note:  Daniel's wife died on the 23rd of November, not the 11th.  Daniel's daughter, Sally, died on 11 Oct 1889, not in the famous flood of 31 May 1889.

In November, 1917, Mr. Stroup was elected a member of the Johnstown City Council, and this commission compelled him to resign as a member of the planning body.  Howerver, he maintained his interest in the

Transcriber's Note:  In the 1880 Census, there is an Abram MANGAS (æ 37, b. PA) living in Johnstown, Cambria Co., PA.  He has wife Elizabeth (æ 34, b. NY) and these children:  Adelia (12), Mary (12), Malinda (10), and Clifford (5).  So is the census wrong or is this bio wrong?  Assuming Charles was the informant for this bio, how could he have gotten it wrong?
