Biographical Sketch from, Illustrated Atlas of Winnebago County, Wisconsin: Randall, Geo. A.;(1889); page 26
LEVI E. STRATE, one of the foremost farmers and stock-growers of this township, was educated in the common schools of his native county, Steuben, N. Y., and during vacations worked out at various jobs, being of an energetic and independent spirit. At sixteen, he went to live with a farmer, intending to remain there until he became of age, but becoming dissatisfied after three years' service, he started west with limited means, which were exhausted when he reached Battle Creek, Mich. He worked there six months and then continued on his journey to Oshkosh. Here he made an engagement to work in the pineries at $16 a month, but after one year of this work he went upon the river, where he was paid $3 to $4 per day, during the summer months. He followed these pursuits fifteen years, including three years spent in Iowa, and then settled upon the farm where he now resides, consisting of 160 acres. This was unimproved when he took it, but he has made the site to blossom as the rose. He was instrumental in establishing a cheese factory in his town. He is a republican and a temperance man. His life has been an active one, and of value to the community in which he is so highly esteemed. He was married November 31, 1869, to Miss Pauline Weinman, of this town, who was born near Buffalo, N. Y., July 18, 1850, daughter of Jacob and Catherine Blum Weinman. They have five children: Orland M., Arthur W. (deceased) Bernard, (deceased), Hettie E. and Archie J. Mr. Strate was born April 26, 1836, the son of L. B. and Elizabeth (Warner) Strate, natives of that state. The father was a shoemaker, who, after his marriage, which occurred before he was twenty-one years old, made his home at Troopsburg, where he remained until 1855. He then came west and settled at Oshkosh town. For twenty years he lived with his son in Neenah, but recently he moved into the city of Neenah, where he lives a retired life, being seventy-five years of age and quite feeble. His aged consort has reached her seventy-second year, and has been a member of the Methodist Episcopal church for the past forty years.
Corrections to the above transcript: Levi and Paulina were married November 22, 1869 in Winneconne, Winnebago County, Wisconsin. His death was due to injuries sustained from falling down the stairs at the home of his son. He survived the fall but succumbed from injuries without regaining consciousness. See "Death Due To A Fall," Fargo Forum and Daily Republican (Fargo, North Dakota), January 23, 1906, at p. 8.
