Striplin, where she was making her home with her children. Her husband, one of the best known men in this part of the country, died in that city January 14, 1925. One week later their son Dr. John T. Striplin died in this city. A little over a year ago, the latter's daughter Miss Addie Striplin ws killed by an accident in Chicago. Thus a singular fatality has afflicted this family of late. The death of the venerable Mrs. Striplin was not unexpected. She had been in declining health for some time. After the death of her husband and son she expressed a desire to be called to her final home. Mrs. Striplin had been a member of the Methodist church since early life and had reared a large family. At her home for many years in the active days of her husband and herself was dispensed a liberal hospitality to ministers and others who visited them. The remains of Mrs. Striplin will be brought to Roanoke on the 12:40 train on Thursday and will carried direct to the Methodist church where services will be conducted by the pastor. Interment will be made by the side of the grave of the late husband of the deceased.
