Theron R. Strong

The law practice of Theron Roundell Strong, son of another well-remembered Centurion [Theron G. Strong], was varied by athletic and military avocations. He was an active participant in all out-of-door sports during his college days and rowed with the crew; he was a polo player up to his later years. At New York he was captain in the National Guard and a member of Squadron A; served on the governor’s military staff in 1914; went to the Mexican border, two years later, as aide to General McNair; sailed for France with an artillery regiment in 1918, and saw active service at the front until the Armistice. These other interests did not divert Strong wholly from the law; he wrote a treatise on the criminal law, and acted as Deputy Assistant District Attorney during nearly half a dozen years.
