Timothy R. Strong

    Timothy R. Strong, a leading criminal lawyer of Norwalk, possesses a strong individuality which has proved most effective in his profession.  He was born April 7, 1817, in Cayuga county, N.Y., a son of William and Lura Strong, and received his education at a seminary in Onondaga county and at Fredonia Academy, Chautauqua county, same State.

    After reading law for some time he was admitted to the bar in 1843, and began general practice at Norwalk, Ohio.  He has conducted many extensive and difficult cases of a civil nature, but is especially eminent in criminal law.  Possessing an inexhaustible fund of dry humor and keen sarcasm, combined with a wonderful power of moving his audience at will, to laughter or tears, he is in great request as a pleader.  He is undeniably the shrewdest and most vivacious lawyer of the Norwalk bar, having won success by native acumen, indefatigable application and characteristic genius

    Mr. Strong was married April 3, 1845, to Ann Eliza Smith, a native of Tompkins county, N.Y., whose parents were born and married in Albany, N.Y., and to this union four children have been born as follows:  William H., a railroad man; Clara, wife of Dr. D. L. McGuire; Alice, and Charlotte.  Mr. Strong in his political predilections is a stanch Republican.
