5. William E. Connelley. 1918. A Standard History
of Kansas and Kansans. Vol. V. Lewis Publ. Co., Chicago.
Biographical sketch of our subjects' son, Charles A. STRAUB. Excerpt:
| p. 2429 |
Charles A. Straub... was born at Sheldon,
Wyoming County, New York, March 29, 1863. His father, A.B. Straub,
was born in 1838 and by the accident of birth is a native of Florida.
The grandfather, who was born in 1810, in Germany, emigrated to America
and landed at one of the ports of Florida, and soon afterwards his oldest
child, A.B., was born. The family soon came North and located
in the Town of |
| p. 2430 |
Sheldon, New York, where Grandfather Straub
built and for many years was proprietor of the Sheldon Hotel. He
died there in 1893. A.B. Straub had no conscious recollections
of his native State of Florida, but in recent years has spent his winters
at St. Petersburg in that state. He grew up in the Town of Sheldon,
New York, was married there, and for a number of years was associated with
his father in the management of the Sheldon Hotel. In 1865 he moved
to Oil Creek, Pennsylvania. He had some interesting associations
with the pioneer oil industry of that state, and most of his sons have
at one time or another been oil men. A.B. Straub had a hotel and
he also owned three large barges which were used in transporting freight
up and down Oil Creek. Just above the creek from the scene of his
former operations he bought the McClintock homestead, a residence
and three acres of land, and he now spends his summers on that estate,
at the Town of Rouseville. Two of his sons and a daughter have also
built homes on the three acres of ground. A.B. Straub is a
democrat, a member of the Catholic Church and is affiliated with the Catholic
Mutual Benefit Association. He married Mary J. Kuster, who
was born at Strykersville, Pennsylvania, in 1841. Charles A. Straub
is the oldest of their large family of children. Henry Frank is
an oil producer living at Titusville, Pennsylvania, and has an oil lease
at Pioneer, Pennsylvania. Andrew Thomas has oil productions
at Rouseville, Pennsylvania. William J. is an oil producer
on the old Rynd farm near Rouseville. George T. is
a resident of Rouseville, and has oil properties near Franklin.
Clara
B. is the wife of D.J. Cavanaugh, manager of the German Refining
Company at Rouseville. Lena married Thomas
Leroux, a blacksmith of Rouseville, Mr. Leroux being successor
to the business once owned by his uncle, Thomas Leroux, who was
the pioneer blacksmith at Rouseville... |
Other sources say Lena's husband was Joseph LEROUX.
