Arthur Strode Dead
On last Friday night Arthur M. Strode was rushed to the Mt. Carmel hospital for an operation for appendicitis. He had not been feeling well for some time, but had plowed all that day, saying he wanted to get it out of the way before the wheat was ready to cut. He was operated upon, but it was found that he also had trouble with his bowels, and he became much worse immediately and died on Sunday afternoon about 2:30.
Arthur was the only son of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Strode and was 20 years, 9 months and 24 days old at the time of his death. He was born near Cherokee and had lived there all his life. He was a fine young man and was liked by everyone. We know of no other boy who chummed around with his father more, or who held the respect of everyone, while a help to both father and mother, he was not a "sissy" but a real boy. We have perhaps heard a hundred people make the remark that they never knew Arthur to be in any kind of trouble, or to have heard him speak a word of disrespect to any one. In fact, he was an ideal young man, and just why he should be taken is a mystery. We have not words with which to portray the virtues of such a young man. In these days of hurry, but few of them remain. Arthur was the exception. He was a graduate of the Community high school, and was assisting his father run the farm. In fact father and son were so closely together that many people thought they were brothers instead of father and son. When you saw one, you were apt to soon see the other. In fact, they were together so much as to cause comment.
One of the largest audiences ever in the M.E. Church was present at the funeral services on Tuesday afternoon, when Rev. W.H. Bunting preached the sermon. Interment was made in the Cherokee cemetery.
Our hearts go out in sympathy to his parents, and his sister, Miss Coleen, in this, their sad bereavement.
