Bertha A. Strong.

SINCE these notices of deceased members were printed, death has removed from our
membership another of our most reliable workers, Miss Bertha Ann Strong.

     Miss Strong's life work has been that of a public-school teacher, nearly
all of which she has given to the schools in this city, serving in one locality
over twenty-seven years, where her eminent fitness for the work was fully
appreciated. She prepared for her calling at Lawrence university and at the
State Normal school at Oshkosh.

    She united with the church "on confession of faith" April 1st, 1866, and at
once engaged in the church activities with a loyalty well worthy of emulation.
While she was always interested in the various departments of the church, she
specially devoted her strength to the Sunday school, entering it at the outset
as a teacher and remaining in it almost continually, a prominent and faithful
servant of the Master till the close of her life, Nov. 17th, 1900, over
thirty-four years. Beside doing excellent work as a teacher, she was of great
service on various committees, more particularly those with reference to the
library, where her judgment was of great value.

    She was a constant attendant upon the mid-week service, and was in her place
in church and Sunday school on the Sunday preceding her death. In her departure
the church and the Sunday school lose a valuable and efficient member, but
realize that their loss is as nothing compared with her great gain.
