She was Susan (Mayben) Strain, wife of Adolphus Middleton
Strain, both were born in Bartow Co., GA and married
there on 5/1/1870.  Susan was the daughter of James and
Mary Mayben who were born in SC.  Susan died, in
childbirth, of Typhoid.  

This article appeared in the Current American newspaper
on 7/28/1892 and I was thrilled to find it as I didn't
have the death date of my grandmother.  


Death of a good lady.

"On Tuesday, the 19th, at her home in at Cass Station, GA
, Mrs. A.M. Strain, after an  illness of nearly four
weeks with typhoid fever, passed peacefully and
triumphantly from the scenes of this world to the glories
of heaven.  She was forty-two years of age, and the
mother of ten children, all of whom, with her devoted
husband, mourn the loss of a loving, gentle, patient
mother, and a true, kindly, and affectinate wife.  To
them the sympathies of their friends go out in the sad
afflictions that has come to their hearts and their home.
Mrs. Strain was a staunch member of the Methodist church
and a God-fearing christian, and is now reaping the
reward of all her suffering and care."

Also the death of her young baby follows and the
following death notice is as follows:

The Courant American  October 27, 1892  "Cass Station"

Last Monday night after a lingering illness of some
weeks, little Rubie Strain, infant daughter of Adolphus
and Susan Strain, passed from earth, to join her mother
in heaven. Little Rubie is buried there with her mother. 


I haven't been to the Pine Log Methodist Church Cemetery
to see if their graves are marked and I'm afraid they may
be unmarked but this is where they are buried according
to my dad.
