Obituary
Nathan Strickland was born in Bradford County, Pennsylvania, January 10, 1808. When about 26 years old he became a member of the M.E. Church in Lorain County, Ohio. He shortly after moved to Harrison county, Missouri, and united with the M.E. Church south and lived in the church until he removed to Appanoose County in the fall of 1860, and in 1868 he united with the Methodist church in Franklin Township, this county. In the prime of his life he served God with zeal during a long and faithful life. He was taken with a malady several years ago which dethroned his mind and resulted in his being taken to Mount Pleasant for treatment. During his intervals of reason he prayed for deliverance, and like Paul and Silas at Philippi, the old asylum failed to hold him.He was returned to his family where he was carefully cared for until his death, which took place Monday morning, May seventh, at 6:30 a.m. When asked about his recovery from his last sickness, he replied that he was in the hands of the Almighty. The God that he had served in the prime of his life did not desert him in his old age and last moments. He was the father of six children, three of whom served through the war of the rebellion. The funeral services took place from his late home in Caldwell, the funeral services being conducted by Reverend Shook, of the M.E. church of Exline circuit.
