Biography

Juanita (Adams) Strong is a part of US Black heritage.

Juanita was born in 1904. She was the daughter of Robert Adams and Mamie Russell.^[1]

She married Boyd Strong about 1928^[2]

She passed away on November 20, 1989 and is buried at Echols Cemetery.

Survivors mentioned in her obituary published in the Atlanta Constitution on Thursday November 23 1989 were: a brother Robert Samuel Adams of Covington; three sisters Mrs. Ruth Pace, Mrs. Eula E. Benton of Cleveland, Ohio, & Bishop & Mrs. L. Scott (Sarah) Adams of Atlanta; a brother-in-law Mr. Herman Baker, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; and a host of nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.^[3]

Research Notes

1920 Census I have not found her in 1920 Census yet. She is not in the same household with her parents.^[4]

Children I believe she and her husband Boyd had no children. In the 1930 Census, they are living with his mother along with two of her grandsons, Marion & Morris.^[2] In 1920, Marion and Morris are also listed as living in their grandparents household. The household also includes Bajor, Jr age 22 listed as widowed who is likely the father of Marion & Morris. Boyd is listed as age 16 so is unlikely to be their father.^[5] In 1940, Boyd's mother is living with them and no children are listed in the household.^[6]
