I do not know about the ownership by Strake.  Nona was
in Dallas for a while re postcards and census.  Both men
Peterson and Strake were said to be from Wisconsin, but
I have not been able to date to find their families there.
Also have not been able to relate the two Petersons listed
by Don and Anne Conner.
