Obituary- Strimple, Henry

Henry P. Strimple, a pioneer resident of this city, died at his home on Perry street, Tuesday evening after an illness of several months duration. He had been a great sufferer from dyspeptic trouble which finally culminated into an abscess of the stomach, causing death.

Mr. Strimple was 57 years old and had resided in this city for thirty-five years. His first wife and a grown daughter, Daisy, died with small pox during the epidemic here two years ago. About a year ago he married the widow Martin, who with five children four boys and one girl, remain to mourn his death.

Mr. Strimple was a good man and a faithful and consistent Christian. For more than 22 years he held the position of janitor of the city schools. Out of respect the schools were dismissed yesterday in order that the children could attend the funeral. Funeral services were held Thursday at 10 o'clock a.m. in the M.E. Church of which he was a member. Rev. J.F. Dennis, the pastor, conducted the services, after which the body was buried in the city cemetery.
