J. M. STRATTON, 
 
carpenter and contractor, 319 North Pearl street, Los Angeles, is a native of 
the State of Kentucky, and was born July 2, 1864. His parents went to the State 
of Iowa the same year, remained there until 1870, and then removed to Kansas. 
The subject of this sketch served an apprenticeship to his trade in the latter 
State, remaining there until 1884, when he came to Los Angeles. He was employed 
as a journeyman for several years, after which he engaged in contracting and 
building. Among other contracts he has erected two four-story frame buildings on 
Buena Vista street, and a large business block on Los Angeles street. He is a 
thorough, practical workman, and justly deserves his reputation as a competent 
builder. He was married May 1,1887, to Miss Lucy Conn, of Kansas. They have one 
son, Henry Irving.
