SADIE STONE STRICKLAND
Flagler County pioneer Sadie Strickland took her place in Heaven September 10, 2010, after a full life of nearly 101 years. She was born in Pine Grove, Ga. on October 27, 1909, the daughter of a Confederate soldier, William Mitchell Stone of the 47th Georgia Volunteer Infantry, and Mary Hall Stone. She married Marcus Strickland of West Florida and in 1927 the couple moved to Favorita in Flagler County where they raised cattle, produced turpentine and became one of the pioneering large landholders in Florida. Before the death of Marcus, the couple reared five children in Flagler County, all living there today: Christine (Don) Deal, Wilda (Jimmie, dcsd.) Hargett, Odell (Frank) Clegg, M.C. (Susan) Strickland, Jr., and Marvin (Betty Jo) Strickland.
She was a charter member of Community Baptist Church in Korona and instrumental in its construction, along with the construction of the First Baptist Church of Bunnell at its original location.Sadie had a gift of childlike wonderment in all things Christmas and in the beauties God bestowed upon this Earth, as well as an appreciation for the creations of man. Four new Strickland generations learned that "Mother Sadie" was a kindred spirit when it came to appreciating laughter, festivities and especially birthdays. But she also possessed a mature love of God and Country and an empathy for those less fortunate. Her early loss of both parents and her husband created an appreciation of Life and a wisdom beyond those years.
She enjoyed bowling, golfing, fishing and world travel in her younger years and took great pride in being one of only 28 living Real Daughters in the United Daughters of the Confederacy at the time of her passing. She belonged to the local Joseph E. Johnston Chapter of the UDC and to the Florida Cattlemen's Association and treasured her many friends there.
In addition to her children, Sadie leaves behind sixteen grandchildren, twenty great-grandchildren, and five great-great-grandchildren. These include the Deal's daughter Shyla (Fred, dcsd.) Meece and their children Wendy (Wayne) Simpson, Michael (Jeanne) Meece, and Cara (David) Karner and the Deal's son Don (Terri) Deal, Jr. and their son, Matthew. Sadie's great- great-grandchildren of this lineage include Isaac and Abby Simpson.The Hargett families include daughter Sherry (Mike) Reavis and their daughter Nicole (Vinton) Squires and daughter Nancy (Fred) Collins and her son Chris (Gail) Miller, and Hargett son Thomas. Sadie's great- great-grandchildren of this lineage include Alyssa Squires, and Chase and Jared Miller.The Clegg families include son Marvin (Melissa) Clegg and their children Hailey and Keeton Clegg, and son Dale (Tracey) Clegg and their daughter Keira Clegg.The children of M.C. Strickland, Jr. are son Mark (Donna) Strickland and his son Mark (Joy) Strickland, III, daughter Marcy (Robby) Bentley and their children Clint, Heath and Sarah Bentley, daughter Rachel Strickland, and sons Joshua, Caleb and Joel Strickland.The children of Marvin (Betty Jo) Strickland are son Shannon (Angie) Strickland and their children Colton, Courtney, Kennedy and Kate Strickland, son Stephen (Angel) Strickland and their children Savannah, Saige, and Skylar Strickland, and son Swayne Strickland.
