SUDDENLY STRICKEN FROM HEART FAILURE

Prof. C. A. Strong Falls in Death as He Was Leaving For Boise

On Monday morning of this week while Prof. C. A. Strong was on his way to the 
garage he was suddenly stricken down, and in a few brief moments the fleeting 
breath of life had gone. He had been in failing health for sometime, but few 
in the community realized how serious was his real condition. He was born in 
the state of Iowa on Sept. 20th, 1858 and had been active all his life. He was 
married in young manhood to Miss Martha V. Zeller and to the union three sons 
and one daughter survive.

Prof. Strong was engaged in educational work for a number of years in Kansas 
and came from that state to Plymouth something like then years ago. Here he 
was Supt. of the city schools several terms. His first wife died about six 
years ago and about five years ago he was united in marriage to Mrs. Minnie B. 
Davis who survives. When A. C. Cogswell resigned as county commissioner a year 
ago Mr. Strong was appointed by Governor Davis as his successor. Just two 
weeks ago today (Wednesday) Mr. Strong closed a deal for the purchase of this 
paper, intending to edit it in connection with his other duties.

The funeral services were conducted by the Rev. H. F. Knight at the beautiful 
residence on west boulevard and very largely attended. The floral offerings 
were beautiful and profuse. A quartet sand “Lead Kindly Light, Abide with Me, 
and the Home of The Soul.” The remains were laid to rest in Parkview cemetery.
