In 1871, Gabriel McLean Stratton moved his family from Butte County to Grasshopper Valley, Lassen County. On August 16, 1872, his nineteen year old son, Henry Stratton died there and was buried nearby. According to Pete Gerig there were two Stratton graves. In an old letter he mentioned coming across “ancient graves” scattered throughout the region. Unfortunately, I never asked for clarification if they were Anglo or Native American On October 23, 1884, Stratton sold his ranch and stage stop to his son-in-law, Charles Franklin Loveland, for $2,500. Stratton moved to Adin.
I wonder if they were related to the Strattons that owned the marked in paradise.
