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.
