Catherine (Strohl) Ikemire, the subject of this sketch, was the
daughter of Henry and Susannah Strohl, and was born March 7, 1851,
in Terry county, Ohio; departed this life March 29, 1925; aged 74
years, 3 weeks and one day. She was united in marriage to Jered
Ikemire March 28, 1878, and to this union was born six children,
five daughters and one son. One daughter and her husband having
preceded her in death, those surviving her are as folllows: Mrs.
Myra Newlin, of San Jose, Calif.; Mrs. Ora Newlin, and the one son,
Brezelia of Eaton, with whom she lived. Three sisters, Mrs. John
Brent, of Annapolis; Mrs. M.S. Price, of Robinson, and Mrs. H.M.
Ikemire of Brazil, Ind. Two brothers, William, of Oblong, and John,
of Brazil, Ind. Five sisters having preceded her in death. She
leaves 11 grandchildren and one great grand child, and a host of
relatives and friends to mourn her death.

"Dearest mother, thou hast left us;
Here thy loss we deeply deel.
But tis God that hath bereft us,
He can all our sorrows heal."

Funeral 
services were held at the Prairie Chapel southwest of
Porterville Tuesday, March 31, at 11 o'clock, attended by a large
concourse of people; burial in cemetery nearby. Services were
conducted by Eld. T. J. Wheeler, of Robinson. Editor's Note (Dan
Weger): You may notice in the Ikemire obit, it says Catherine had
five daughters and one son, one daughter preceding her in death.
Then it names the survivors and only names two daughters and
one son. I'm not perfect, I do make mistakes, but not in this
case.
