    Notes:

    Henry Dwight Stratton was born on August 24, 1824 in Amherst, Ohio and attended the public schools in Amherst and then attended Oberlin College. He married Miss Parmella Bryant in 1854 in Cleveland, Ohio in a double wedding ceremony with his sister and brother-in-law Henry B. Bryant. The wedding was officiated by Dr. Charles Finney, a Protestant minister who was the president of Oberlin College. Along with his brothers-in-law, John Collins Bryant, and Henry Beadman Bryant, Stratton graduated from Folsom Business College in Cleveland, Ohio. The trio later purchased the school from the owner, Ezekiel G. Folsom, who founded his school in 1848. Bryant & Stratton College was officially organized in 1854 to provide practical workplace education, and was formerly known as Bryant and Stratton Business Institute. In addition to purchasing the Cleveland school, Bryant and Stratton established a number of business schools that operated under the name of Bryant & Stratton & Co's chain of International Commercial Colleges in most major US cities. By 1864 as many as 50 schools existed. Stratton died on February 20, 1867 in Manhattan, New York City, New York.

    Jonas Stratton was born in Stow, Mass., Oct. 10, 1791. He was but six years old when his father died. As one of a large family of children, he was early forced to shift for himself. He lived for awhile with his older brother Lewis in Amherst, N.H., and here he learned the cabinet makers' trade. While still little more than a boy he emigrated to the "wilds of Ohio" where several of his Amherst neighbors had settled and named the little settlement Amherst, after their New Hampshire home. He worked at his trade and presently bought a farm and built a house. Mar. 31, 1822, he married Lucy Smith, and their hospitable home became the center of many happy recollections.
    In this home they lived to a good old age. Mr. Stratton died Sept. 26, 1878. They were both members of the Congregationalist church.
