BIOGRAPHICAL ENCYCLOPEDIA
Mrs. Stroup, present wife of Dr. Stroup, was born in Meadville, Pa., October 20, 1852, and is a daughter of Thomas and Rebecca (Lewis) Alexandra. She attended the com- mon schools of her native place until she was fourteen years old; she was then further advanced than any of her schoolmates of the same age, and was granted a certificate to teach. Her father had ample means, but held the idea then prevalent that while a liberal education is desirable for boys, it is not needed by girls; hence he refused to aid his daughter in securing a more thorough education. She resolved to secure this with- out his assistance, and after receiving her teacher's certificate she taught school six months and spent the next six months in study at Meadville Academy, finishing the course at that institution in 1866. She then entered the State Normal School at Edinboro, Pa., and graduated with first honors. In all she has taught school for twenty-two years with marked ability, having the same uniform success in the University of Ohio that characterized her efforts in the rural districts, where she taught seven years. Mrs. Dr. Stroup taught her first school when but fourteen years of age, for $9 per month, and was offered the same school the following winter at $25 per month. Her father laughed at her so much for teaching for $9, that one day she remarked : " Well, father, you will live to see that sum quad- rupled," and it was a prophecy that came true, for she held a position for twelve years for which she received $650 per year.
