G.W. Strickland Dead

The following telegram was received by Dr. Mathews yesterday:

"Brother G.W. Strickland of Mt. Olive Lodge No. 122 died at Cataula,
Ga., last night. Will be buried at Concord tomorrow at 10 o'clock a.m.
on arrival of train from Columbus. invite Zebulon lodge to attend. His
request."

Mr. Strickland died of heart disease. At the time of his death he was
with his son, Will, who has a government job at Cataula on the nar[row]
gauge road between Greenville and Columbus.

Mr. Strickland was selling fruit trees for a nursery at Concord, and
left home in apparently good health.

He was a member of the Baptist church at Concord and one of Pike's most
prominent citizens. He leaves a wife and five children - three boys and
two girls.
