Vivian WOMACK report says William STREBIG was a fireman, rank Lieutenant; that he owned Hoosier-Keystone Coal Co (with a mine near West Newton, Westmoreland Co, PA) which had offices in Fort Wayne.

Mary K RANSOM took notes in a conversation with her mother, Isabel STREBIG SMITH, who said that Isabel's father adopted the middle initial "B" to distinguish himself from his nephew, William A STREBIG, (son of Isaac) and his credit problems.
