STRICKLAND - In Villa Rica Ga., July 19, 1897, Mrs.
R.A. Strickland, after an illness of nearly one
year, passed to her eternal reward, bearing her
afflictions with the greatest Christian fortitude.
Sister Strickland was the only daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Marion Fielder, born December 14, 1855 and
married to Dr. G.W. Strickland in 1872.  While quite
young she was happily converted and joined Pleasant
Grove Baptist Church, making a very consistent and
exemplary member all through life.  She was a loving
and devoted wife, making every one happy with whom
she came in contact.  She was constantly doing deeds
of kindness for the poor, ministering to the sick,
was a constant and devoted Sunday school worker, a
great friend and supporter of the ministry and
untiring church worker.

Resolved, that while husband, mother, brother and
church mourn the loss of our dear sister, we bow
with humble submission to the will of him who doeth
all things for the best.

Note: Atha Fielder Strickland and her husband are
buried at the Pleasant Grove Baptist Church cemetery
in Villa Rica, Georgia. Dr. Strickland was born on
April 7, 1840 and passed away on April 12, 1915.
