New Ulm Review - February 1, 1928
LOUIS A. STRATE
  After an illness of more than five months' duration, Louis A. Strate, 
well known resident of this vicinity, passed away at his farm home in 
Home township Saturday morning at 10 o'clock.  In the early part o September 
Mr. Strate's health began to fail and he sough medical attention.  A trip 
was made to Rochester a short time ago in an endeavor to find relief.  
All efforts were in vain, however, and he passed quietly away last Saturday.  
Death was caused by an infection of the blood.

Frederick Strate, March 7, 1880.  He grew to manhood there and came to 
New Ulm where he lived for five years, following the carpenter trade.  
He was united in marriage to Miss Mae Tuttle, June 23, 1908, at the local 
Congregational parsonage, Rev. E.F. Wheeler officiating.  The young couple 
moved to the farm of the bride's parents in Home Township where they have 
since resided.  Four children blessed this union, all of whom, with their 
grief-stricken mother, survive.  They are: Woodrow, Inez, Raymond and 
Evelyn, all at  home.  The deceased also leave to mourn, his mother, Mrs.
Fredericke Strate, of this city, and the following brothers and sisters: 
Mrs. Rudolph Alwin, August and William Strate of this city; Mrs. Louis 
Arhart, West Newton township; Fred Strate of Dupree, Sask., Canada; Mrs. 
Herman Juni, Milford township; and Wilbur Strate of Searles.  Mr. and 
Mrs. Frank Tuttle, his father-in-law and mother-in-law, also survive.  
Funeral services were held in Home township this afternoon, at 1 o'clock, 
and from the local Methodist church at 2:30, Rev. J. W. Mettam officiating.
