STRICKLAND
To the memory of my Beloved Husband
S.A. Strickland
Born March 8, 1835
Died July 26, 1880

Absolom Hardy

"At Rest"

Across the Highway (441) was located the James Strickland house which my brother-in-law
remembers well.  Roger Venable said he has been there many times and that the house stood
until not so long ago.

The cemetery is in a very sad condition.  No care has been given it and the tombstones
seem to have been moved from their original sites.

Willis Henry Strickland and his wife Lou Amy Strickland are second cousins.
