The interment Of PaschaI N. Strong,
father of Rev. Charles H. Strong of this
city, took place in Augusta yesterday. The
New Orleans Rcaylne. in announcing the
death OF Mr.. Strong in that city. says:
In the death of Paschal N. Strong the
cause or education lost Jealous advocate,
the Tulane University q faithful servant,
and the city OF New Orleans a sturdy and
honest citizen.
Mr.. Strong was born in New York state
In June, 1920, and was descended from one
OF the old Kniokerhocker families, His
father was pastor of the Dutch Reform
church at Albany. and there young Strong
received his education. When 81 years old,
unable, because Of Ill health, to bear the
severe weather Of his native state he came
south and located in New Orleans. There
he entered the cotton business and soon be-
came partner in the firm of Campbell &
Strong.
Upon the outbreak of the war he aban-
doned his business and entered the confed-
crate quartermaster service He was as
| signed to duty in this locality, where he
| remained until the capture Of the city.
when he was transferred to Atlanta.
AT the close of the war Mr.. Strong re-
turned to New Orleans and again embarked
In the cotton business, but soon abandoned
II in order TO become the agent of Paul
Tulane. and the endowment Of Tulane Uni.
versity was largely due to his counsel and
influence.
such was Paul Tulane's regard for bis
friend that when he endowed the college he
! did so conditionally that Mr.. Strong should
be the secretary and treasurer of the Tulane
fund. Mr.. Strong was accordingly elected
at the first meeting of the board of admin
istrators, and held the position until his
death.
While serving in this honorable and re-
sponsible capacity Mr.. Strong made hosts
of firm friends among the Tulane students,
who early learned TO look upon the modest
quiet official as not only champion Of edu-
cation but a large~hearted friend of the
youths. His death will be keenly felt by the
academic corps.
At one time Mr.. Strong was prominent in
| club circles. He was repeatedly elected sec-
retary and treasurer of she Pickwick Club.
but when the position became salaried Of
flee he refused to stand for reelection. Re-
signing from the club shortly after ward, he
was made an honorary member.
But for al accident, MIR. Strong would
have been legatee OF Paul Tulane. BY
reason of the warm friendship existing be-
tween the two men, the latter. few days
previous to his death, prepared will by
which Tulane University and Paschal n
Strong were to have been the main bene-
ficiaries. The outline was placed In the
hands Of Mr.. Tulane's attorneys for legal
sanction, but for some cause action was de-
layed, and before the will was completed
Mr. Tulane died. The contemplated will
provided a second endowment for the college
and fortune for Mr.. Strong.
Mr.. Strong married Miss Louisa Hall of
Augusta, daughter Of Rev. DIR. Hall of
Brooklyn, n. Y. Two children blessed the
union-the deceased wife of Gen. Amasa j.
Parker of Albany, N. Y, and Rev. Charles
H. Strong, rector of st. Johns church,
