The Sabine Index - Charles A. Strain

  27 Apr 1951 - Friends and relatives of Charles A. Strain of
Pleasant Hill were shocked and saddened at his sudden passing
Saturday evening, April 21.

  Mr. Strain was a native of Philadelphia, Penn, and is survived
by a sister, Mrs. Mary Thomnson, and two brothers, James and
Joseph Strain, all of Philadelphia.

  He had been in ill health for some time but seemingly had
felt much better recently, retired as usual Saturday evening
about 11:30 p.m. Mrs. Strain was awakened suddenly by his deep
breathing and in just a few minutes he was gone. Mr. Strain was a
veteran of Worth War I, having served two years overseas.

  Mrs. Strain is librarian and also reporter for the Index, at
Pleasant Hill and we extend to her our sincere sympathy in this
sad hour.

  Interment was in Pleasant Hill cemetery with Pleasant Hill
American Legion post members and Rev. J. A. Benoit of Many
conducting the service.

  Mr. Strain had many friends in Pleasant Hill, even
though he had lived there only a few years. Sibie, as he was
known to his friends, will be missed and to them we add this
thought "A life well spent for the good of others, brings at its
close, peace to the soul."
