DEATH OF MRS. ELIZA ANN STROBEL SATURDAY
The sun arose Saturday morning, January 26, 1918, to find that the soul of Mrs. Eliza Ann Strobel had left the tenement of clay to meet the eternal morning of that land which needs neither light of sun or moon, for its radiance comes from the presence of God. Mrs. Strobel, who had been seriously ill, but had recovered sufficiently to be about the home again, bade her loved ones good night and fell serenely to sleep to awake no more on this rugged shore.
Eliza Ann Oliver, daughter of Stephen Oliver, was born June 19, 1834 in Cleveland, Ohio. Her father went to California in 1849 and was killed by the Indians. She moved from Ohio to Wisconsin where at the age of 16 she was married to Alexander Misener. To this union were born four children, three sons and one daughter. The eldest son and the daughter died in infancy. Richard Oliver Misener died in 1902 and was buried in Hamilton, Texas. E. R. Misener, only surviving member of the family, is a leading citizen of Hamilton and it was with him the dear old mother had made her home for the past several years. Deceased moved to Texas in 1882, settling near Pottsville where she lived for two years, after which she moved to the Strobel farm in Center Valley, this county, where she lived until Mr. Strobel's death. Several years after the death of her husband Mrs. Misener was married to Horace Adee in South Dakota. Mr. Adee died in 1890, and was buried at Pottsville, Texas. Her third marriage was to John Strobel, whose death occurred October 24, 1911, the body being laid to rest in the Odd Fellows cemetery in this city.
Mrs. Strobel professed faith in Christ at the age of eleven yeaars and joined the Missionary Baptist church. After moving near Pottsville she united with the Primitive Baptist church where her membership was at the time of her death. Besides her son, E. R. Misener, of Hamilton, Mrs. Strobel is survived by two brothers and a sister, who are Washington Oliver of Wisconsin; E. R. Oliver, Houston, Texas; Mrs. Mary E. Boyce, South Dakota; a grandson, Richard Misener, of Dallas; five granddaughters, Mrs. Nora Sellers, of Del Rio, Texas; Mrs. Bessie Massman, Albuquerque, New Mexico; Mrs. Edna Reece, Dallas; Mrs. Eleanor Gruskin, Dallas; Mrs. Mable Brunson, Waco; also two great graddaughters, Mary and Fay Hickman of Albuquerque, New Mexico, and one great grandson, Edwin Sellers, Del Rio, Texas, and Mrs. Mamie Misener of Palacios, Texas, widow of the late Richard Oliver Misener.
Mrs. Strobel was a woman of unusual strength of character, and her brilliant intellect was undimmed to the last. While a young woman she was one of the workers in the famous Iowa Crusade movement, the result of which was the closing of many saloons in the city of Ottumwa where she lived. She was a devout Christian, always delighting in attending services at the house of the Lord. Up until her last illness Mrs. Strobel always attended the prayer meeting service in mid-week, the Sunday school and church services on Sundays. She was a loving mother who was tenderly devoted to the interests of her loved ones, and her friends she loved most loyally and was ever ready to answer the call of the needy. Her life fulfilled every duty that comes to a true woman, and the memory of her will be as a rich heritage to the granddaughters.
Funeral services were held at the Misener home on South Bell avenue Sunday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock, Reverend Riley J. Fletcher, her well beloved pastor, paying loving tribute to her memory. Fitting her station beautifully were the words of scripture read by Rev. Fletcher: "For me to live is Christ; to die is gain." He closed with the quotation which expressed the sentiment of those who loved her best and who had been most closely associated with her in the church: "Thou shalt be missed, because thy seat will be empty." Tenderly and lovingly because of her sacred memory the singers sang, "Asleep in Jesus," which all felt truly was her estate. Many beautiful floral tributes came from the absent grandchildren and other relatives and friends. Those who will miss her presence most have the loving and understanding sympathy of hosts of friends in their sorrow, but they are comforted by the knowledge of her gain.
