The Hannibal Journal, 11 November 1847
DIED,
In this city, Wednesday, the 3d of November, Mr. H. P. Strong, of Ohio, in the 
21st year of his age.

The deceased has left a numberous connection in his native State, besides an 
affectionate brother in this city, to mourn his loss.  How often are our 
brightest prospects blasted by the ruthless hand of death forever; yet there 
are circumstances when his iron grasp lays hold on one in our midst which 
appear to render his visit doubly distressing.  It was so in the present 
intance.  Oh, how little did the youth whose feelings were never contaminated 
by his intercourse with this unfriendly world, think when he bade an 
affectionate adieu to father, mother, brother, and sister, and left his 
paternal home to seek his fortune in the West, that he should so soon be 
called upon to try the realities of another world, and be compelled to take 
his final resting place among the forest trees of a distant land.  A few short 
weeks have intervened, he resposes soundly beneath the clods of the valley, 
until he with the rest of frail humanity shall be delivered from the abodes of 
misery and corruption, no more to languish, but death itself will 
be "swallowed up in victory."
