| 615 |  | Anniversary- Strimple, Frank and Clara 3 Mr. and Mrs. Strimple married seventy years Mr. and Mrs. Frank Strimple will celebrate their 70th wedding anniversary Sunday, May 6. This is an event which can only be shared by two such devoted people. Mr. and Mrs. Strimple were married in that year of 1886 in Greenwood county, Kansas. They enjoyed a grade school friendship which grew into a lifetime of steadfast understanding and faithfulness. Mr. Strimple will be 92 in December and Mrs. Strimple will be 89 in June. Paul Strimple brought his family here from Illinois in a covered wagon in 1870. Frank is the only one of the twelve children still living. His father was a local Methodist minister and he remembers stories told to him about his grandfather who fought in the Revolutionary War and spent the winter at Valley Forge. The Strimple family moved on to Greenwood county from Rossville in 1882 and it was there that Frank Strimple met his future wife when they went to grade school together. She was born in Iowa and was "adopted out" at an early age. In 1889 Mr. Strimple moved his family to Colorado but in 1893 they returned to Greenwood county, where he went to farming during that depression year. He said he "sold hogs for $2.65 a hundred, corn for 13c a bushel and bought a wagon for $64.00." Having lived through three depressions, those of 1885, 1893 and the '30's: Mr. Strimple is well qualified to remember the hard times they bring. Although Mr. Strimple did not attend a high school he took several courses at Washburn college and also some correspondence courses which gave him the equivalent of this education. It was eleven years after his schooling before he applied for a teaching certificate. After receiving his certificate he started on his teaching and painting career in 1898. He taught for 50 years, 30 of which were spent in Shawnee county. He was an instructor for five years at 101 school and spent four years at Twin Rose school, country schools near Rossville. The painting work he did, as he says, was a good companion job as he could paint during the summer months when school was not in session, and this helped considerably as far as the family budget was concerned. The Strimples have lived 43 years of their married life in Rossville having lived in their present home since they returned in 1913. They have given much service in the interest of the Methodist church. he is a member of the Silver Lake Odd Fellows lodge and she of the Rebekahs. Mrs. Strimiple has provided a wonderful home for her family and is still keeping it so for her husband. She says that home is the best place to be and Mr. Strimple says of her that no one could have done a better job of raising a family than she has done. Even though Mr. Strimiple lost his right hand in an accident in a sorghum mill 80 years ago, it has not been a handicap for him. The fact that he broke his leg in a fall several years ago has not kept him down and certainly has not been depressing to him. Both Mr. and Mrs. Strimple possess a keen and active mind and enjoy the flowers that bloom each spring in the yard they tended so carefully until the last few years when the heart has been willing but the body has been fighting a little. A celebration is planned in Topeka Sunday for this remarkable couple. Their children are all expected to gather for the occasion except Mrs. Georgia Ware who lives in Oklahoma and will be unable to be here. Other children are Mrs. Minnie Stockton, Mrs. Eva DeGraff and Mr. Orville Strimple, all of Topeka; Mrs. Clara DeGraff of Oregon, Mrs. Jessie Burton of South Dakota, Mr. Clyde Strimple and Mr. Guy Strimple of Rossville. There are 28 grandchildren and 48 great grandchildren. -- Mr. and Mrs. F.E. Strimple Mr. and Mrs. F.E.
