  Notes	1890 Bank Clerk, 403 Mozart St., Los Angeles 1892 Voter Registration at 907 Mozart St., Los Angeles 1893 Bookkeeper at Troy Laundry, 907 Mozart St., Los Angeles 1895 Voter Registration in W. Phoenix, Arizona 1896 Voter Registration, Insurance, 409 S. Hill St., Los Angeles 1897 Solicitor, Equitable Life Assurance Society 1898 Death, 1311 Santee St., Los Angeles Thomas, his second wife Rebecca Jane, and their son Frank Kellog Strahorn are all buried in the same plot in Rosedale Cemetery, just west of downtown Los Angeles. I suspect the headstone was installed by his son Robert Edmund Strahorn after he became wealthy, since Thomas was a man of modest means. A much more modest stone can be seen in front of the larger one, which reads, "T.F.S. Husband." No headstone is in evidence for Frank. Recorded in Voter Registrations as 5' 9 1/2" tall.
