Notes |
- He is named after John Higgins Strain, the uncle of his mother Eliza Wimberly Strain. He wrote an informally structured family history entitled "Miscellaneous Personal and Family Notes," Houston, TX; he started it on March 22, 1929, and then he returned to it various times over the years.
He was married in California. His family moved to 714 Rosalie Ave. in Houston, TX in 1920. He apparently became a Freemason in 1922. Later, the family moved to 814 Kipling Ave Houston in spring of 1925, where they lived until 1947. At this time he inherited Essex, after the death of Aunt Jig, to which he moved in 1947. ("Aunt" Jig, whose given name was Rachel Alice Waters, was actually his 1st cousin once removed, but she had been born 30 years before he was, and this was what everyone called her.) He retired from the Southern Pacific Railroad on May 31, 1948. He retired to "Essex," in Anne Arundel County, which he had inherited from his cousin Aunt Jig. He was a member of the South River Club in Anne Arundel County after the early 1950s. He suffered a stroke which disabled him during the 1950s. He died at Essex Farm in Anne Arundel Co., Maryland.
