Obituary: Strohbeck Rites Set for Sunday BRIGHTON, March 22, (Special) -- Funeral 
rites for Mrs. Luella STROHBECK, wife of Theodore L. Strohbeck of the Sterling 
vicinity, near here, have been set for Sunday. Short services are to be conducted at the 
family home at 1 p. m. followed by rites at 2 p. m. in the Congregational Church 
at Bunker Hill, and burial will be in Woodburn cemetery. The Rev. James Connett of 
Brighton will conduct the rites, assisted by the Rev. Burk of Bunker Hill. The body will 
be at the family home after 4 p. m. today. Mrs. Strohbeck died Thursday afternoon at 
Alton Memorial Hospital. She was born Nov. 30, 1873, daughter of William and Eliza 
MILLER EDDINGTON, pioneer residents of the Sterling neighborhood. She was 
married to Mr. Strohbeck 45 years ago on Feb. 27, 1895. Beside her husband, she is 
survived by the following children: Newell, supervisor of Brighton township, Dewey, 
Roy, Kenneth and Mrs. Myrtle GRAUL of Brighton vicinity, Earl of  Alton; three 
brothers, Hiram, Harvey and Norman EDDINGTON, all of Brighton, and nine 
grandchildren. Mrs. Strohbeck's illness was of about a week's duration. She had been 
taken ill last Friday night and last Monday, when her condition was found to have 
serious aspects, she was moved to the hospital. In her lifetime in the Sterling 
district she had become endeared to a wide circle of friends------------------a helpful and 
kindly neighbor and a woman devoted to the interests of her home and family. Her 
church membership was with the former Fosterburg M. E. Church in which she had 
taken active interest.
