| Abstract: | Florence Sadler Strimple (1865-ca. 1938) was a Bay Village, Ohio, resident who compiled much material on her ancestors, the Sadler, Lilly, Shook and Tryon families. The collection consists of correspondence, biographical and historical sketches, genealogies and genealogical notes, legal documents, and clippings concerning the Sadler, Lilly, Shook and Tryon families. The collection primarily pertains to the genealogy of these families, but also includes local history of Bay Village and the Rocky River Valley. Of particular interest are the family stories relating to pioneer life in the Western Reserve. | |
