Death of Mrs Julia Strickland

Mrs. Julia Strickland, widow of Henry H. Strickland, died
at her home in Concord last Friday after a serious
illness of six weeks. She was 68 years old and had lived
in the community in which she died all her life.

She was Miss Julia Beckham before her marriage, the
oldest of a family of seven children. She was a sister of
Mr. R.Y. Beckham of this place, Taylor Beckham, G.D.
Beckham, and J.T. Beckham of Concord, her brother J.T,
having been buried the day before her death.

Mrs. Strickland was noted for her goodness and kindness
and was loved by everybody who knew her. She is said to
be one of the best that ever lived.

She leaves two daughters, Misses Mary and Alma who have
the sympathy of the entire community in the loss of their
mother.

Her funeral was preached by Rev. T.S. Edwards of this
place and the interment took place in old Hebron
cemetery.
