Obituary | Obit., Plain Dealer (Cleveland, OH), 8 Aug. 1888: Death of an Old Timer Rockville, Md., Aug. 7 - Captain John H. Strain died last night, aged 70 years. He participated in the Santa Fe expedition, serving as captain. Subsequently he was with General Sam Houston, to whom he was related, in Mexico and Texas. His wife, who is a sister of Mrs. Buchanan Houston, President of the Pacific Mail Steamship Company, and a niece of Commodore Truxton, with six children, survives him. This seems to have been widely copied; the same obit. appeared in the Daily Inter Ocean (Chicago, IL), 8 Aug. 1888. It’s also not clear whether he was related to Sam Houston. | |
