To the Memory of the Stong Pioneer Family
Daniel Stong was born in Pennsylvania, U.S.A. in 1791, a descendant of Hans Stong (Stang) of Darmstadt, Germany, who emigrated to Buck's County, Pennsylvania, in 1709.
In 1800, Daniel Stong and his parents, Sylvester Stong, 1746-1834, and Barbary Bolinger, 1769-1863, migrated to Canada.
Here on this farm, he and his wife, Elizabeth Fisher, 1798-1885, built their home in 1816. On this site he built the Stong School in 1824, and later the church known as the Townline Church.
He died in 1868, and he and his wife, with other pioneers, are buried here.
