James Delbert Stroud was a talented man from what I am told by family. Not only was he a good provider for his family - he was a piano-man. He traveled Iowa with his group when he was a young man. That is how he met his wife Catharine ( Canny ) in Ottumwa, Iowa. For years he still entertained locally at dances. He wrote and published one song. Family has told me he didn't talk much, but could recite pages of poems and such. I knew J.D. Stroud but never really shared a moment with him like I did his wife Catharine. However I will be placing many comments and short stories about J. D. - Including his song and at least one of his High School poems......
