  [S151] Montgomery Bios, Morton L. Montgomery, (. H. Beers & Company of Chicago, 1909), 476 (Reliability: 1). Henry S. Strunk is a native of Exeter township, born March 16, 1864, and began his education in the Old Hill School in that township. He was only sixteen years old when licensed to teach, and in three terms of teaching in his native township, and by such other opportunities for work as are open to sons of farmers, he saved sufficient money to enable him to take a course at the Keystone State Normal School, at Kutztown, from which he was graduated in 1885. In the fall of the same year his brother, Ammon S. Strunk, appointed him deputy register of wills, and he remained in the office for sixteen consecutive years, during three of which--1891-92-93--he filled the office of register with signal credit and ability. Resigning the position of deputy register of wills in the fall of 1901, Mr. Strunk accepted a position as teller in the Neversink Bank of Reading, then being organized. He served in this position until October, 1908, when he was elected cashier of the bank. By virtue of his able service in the various positions of trust he has filled, Mr. Strunk is well and favorably known throughout the county. On April 6, 1896, Mr. Strunk married Sarah Trimble Dwight, a daughter of Francis G. and Ida (Hoeckly) Dwight, of Reading. To this union have been born three children: Grace D., Blanche D. and Henry D.
