J. A. Strickland, pioneer of Delaware county and long time real estate dealer here, succumbed to injuries he received when struck by an automobile on the streets of Manchester on Friday evening, Nov. 8, 1935. Mr. Strickland's death occurred at St. Luke's hospital in Cedar Rapids on Wednesday noon, Nov. 27, 1935. Mr. Strickland suffered a fracture of the small bone in his left leg, and terrible lacerations on his left ear. For a time it appeared that his condition showed marked signs of improvement, when last Saturday complications developed and he was rushed to the hospital for care and treatment.
Funeral services were held at the Brown funeral home on Saturday afternoon, at two o'clock. Rev. J. Frank Moore had charge of the services. Interment was made in Oakland cemetery. The members of the Masonic lodge, of which Mr. Strckland had been a member for many years, had charge of the interment services.
Among the friends and relatives from a distance in attendance upon the funeral services were Mrs. J. W. Scott and son, John Schott and wife, of Chicago; Mrs. Emma Strickland and Mr. and Mrs. Harlan Merriam of Des Moines; Arthur Strickland, Mr. and Mrs. Earl Le Grant, John Wagner, Benjamin Tait, R. A. Shover, H. J. Soper, Martin Kelly, Harold Correin, W. M. Engberg, Chas. Burmeister, M. M. Smith, Dave Williams and Mrs. Williams, Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Simmons, Mr. and Mrs. M. O. Harding, and Mrs. C. E. Stryker, all of Cedar Rapids.
Josiah A. Strickland, son of the late William Strickland, was born in Amherst, Mass., on Sept. 12, 1855. When he was a year old his parents came west and located in the community of Almoral, north of Earlville. Here he grew to manhood and engaged in farming.
His marriage with Miss Jennie Newcomb, daughter of another pioneer M. B. Newcomb of Earlville occurred on March 25, 1883. Following their marriage Mr. and Mrs. Strickland made their home on the farm at Almoral. In 1893 the family moved to a farm near Manchester, Mr. Strickland having purchased the farm now owned by Mr. and Mrs. Ed. Land. After a residence of some years on this farm Mr. and Mrs. Strickland became interested in the real estate business, and for seven years was traveling immigration agent for the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Railroad company, and was instrumental in arranging homesteading parties going to the Dakotas to take up homestead claims. This line of work he followed for seven years, and then engaged in the real estate business with offices in Manchester.
Mr. Strickland is survived by the widow, two sons, Percy H. Strickland, of Whittier, California; Glen A. Strickland of Cedar Rapids; one granddaughter, Jane Strickland of Whittier, California; and one grandson, Gordon Strickland, of Cedar Rapids; also by a half brother Arthur Strickland, of Cedar Rapids. An only brother, Edward Strckland, died twenty years ago.
Notwithstanding Mr. Strickland's age he continued to maintain a lively interest in the events of the times, and greatly enjoyed his daily visits with old time friends on the streets or in the Masonic club rooms. He was a man of kindly nature and enjoyed and appreciated the close companionship of those in his home. Mr. and Mrs. Strickland were privileged in travel life's pathway together for more than fifty-two years, and one were more devoted to each other.
During the earlier years of Mr. Strckland's life he was an active worker in the old Congregational church of Almoral, and upon coming to Manchester Community church here he became a member of the church. In his more active years he was also a member of the Knights of Pythias lodge, and continued his membership in the Masonic lodge until his death.
In the passing of Mr. Strckland another pioneer has been taken from the county, and from the community in which he was active for so many years. His passing, following the tragedy which came upon him here on the evening of Nov. 8, while on his way to the Masonic lodge, has brought a great sorrow to the wife and children, and a host of friends. These friends sincerely sympathize with the members of Mrs. Strickland's household.
