Jeff, here are the summary and details on Frederick Finch Strong.

Regards, Steve

Summary:

Frederick Finch Strong was born on June 6, 1872 in Aurora, New York, the
son of a Dutch Reformed Church Clergyman, Thomas Campbell Strong. Three of
Frederick's uncles were also Dutch Reformed Church Clergymen, as was his
paternal grandfather. His older brother was Thomas Morris Strong, who received
his medical degree from New York Homeopathic Medical College in 1871,
specialized in Ear, Eyes and Throat medicine. This probably inspired Frederick
to also go into medicine. His mother, Mary Arabella Sibley, nee Finch,
married Frederick's widowed father in September 1869, and brought a considerable
estate with her from her recently deceased husband, Dr. Samuel L. Sibley,
the first homeopathic physician in Ithaca, NY. Dr. Sibley's sister was
Thomas Strong's wife, Sarah Harwood Sibley. These things often have a way of
connecting.

Because of his pastoral profession, Frederick's father moved relatively
often, and in 1880 the family lived in Allegheny, near Pittsburgh,
Pennsylvania.
After obtaining his bachelor's degree from Cornell in 1893, Frederick
studied for a year in Germany with Dr. Paul Ehrlich. In June, 1895, he published
a paper in the New England Medical Gazette on the Microscopical Technique
of Blood Examination, in which he mentions he attended Professor Ehrlich's
lectures in Berlin, and got samples of stains that Ehrlich used in his
work. He received his M. D. from Tufts in 1898, and later served as an
instructor at Tufts.

In 1900, Frederick lived with his married brother Thomas in Boston,
Massachusetts, and was listed as a Physician with the speciality of Elect[ro]
Thera[peutics]. In 1910, Frederick was still single at age 36, and lived in
St. Petersburg, Florida. In 1918 he moved to Hollywood, California, and by
the 1920 census, he had married Ethyl Haley. They were still living in Los
Angles in 1930, and Frederick's real estate was valued at a considerable
$70,000. He died on June 13, 1955 in Los Angeles.

Frederick Strong received U. S. Patent 733,343 May 11, 1903 for Electrical
Apparatus for the Use of Ultraviolet Rays. I located 10 other patents
issued to Strong between 1904 and 1930.
