Obituary.

On December 81, 1915, the Angel of
Heaven descended and took away
our beloved friend, William D. Strick-
lin, better known as "Uncle Billy"
He wac born December 80, 1887, near
Pilot Knob, Mo. The old brother was
rs years and one day old. He was
married September 15, 1860, to Talitha
Davis. To this union there were born
three children. One son and two
daughters; the two daughters and
wife still survive him. The son was
called away during his infancy.
Brother Stricklin was once member
of the Missionary Baptist Church, and
the Church going down he did not
transfer his membership to any other
church.
The brother said he was prepared to
go. Mr.. Stricklin has been a citizen
of this community for several years.
He was buried in the Stricklin Gene
terry on his farm. The funeral service
was conducted by Arthur Francis,
There is a vacancy in his chair that
can not be filed. To the dear old
mother who has but very short time
here to stay, may God be with her
and give her peace and comfort the
rest Of her days is my prayer!
A FRIEND.
