S. H. Strickland Memorial   The Texas Christian Advocate - October 8, 1891 In memory of S. H. Strickland, who was born in Franklin County, Alabama Aug. 22, 1818; moved to Giles County, Tenn. in 1837; was married to Miss Annie Tunget; professed religion the same year - 1837 and joined the M. E. church. He moved to Ellis County, Texas in May 1877 where he joined the church at Glenwood; departed this life Sept. 21, 1891. I knew Bro. Strickland for about thirty years; he was a man of faith and lived an exemplary life.  Just before leaving this world he said to his wife and children that he had trusted in God for more than fifty years and was still trusting him.  He told them how he loved them, but that he loved the Lord more; then kissed his wife good-bye and fell asleep in perfect peace. May the Lord bless Sister Strickland and her family and keep them in peace through all their afflictions and bring them all home at last. Thos. G.
