Clearfield Enterprise
Clearfield, Iowa
February 20, 1919

James Marion Strange was born September 23, 1895, in Cloud Co., Kansas, and passed away at his home in Ringgold Co. Iowa, Feb. 16, 1919, aged 23 years. 4 months, 23 days. He was taken sick with the influenza and after a little over a week's illness, departed this life.

He was married to Miss Agatha Melvina Thurman, Sept. 12, 1917. Since that date they have lived on the home place with Mr. Strange's father and mother. To them, the loss will be most keen. Just five days before his death, his wife and companion was called into the life beyond. It seemed that for them the sorrow of separation was not to be of long duration. Both within this short period passed from this earth to know the life from which none ever return.

There remain to mourn his loss two sisters, Mrs. Daisy Sly and Mrs. Harry Getz; four brothers, William of'Almota, Washington; Lou and, Fred of Diagonal; and George of Digen, Montana; and his aged father and mother, besides other relatives and friends.

Funeral services were held; on Wednesday, Feb. 19th, at the residence for both Mr. and Mrs. Strange. Rev. Zwick of the Diagonal Methodist church conducted the services, which were attended by many friends. Interment followed in Clearfield Cemetery.
