Obituary - Mrs. Solomon David Stroh (Mary Morgan)
The announcement of the death of Mrs.S.D. Stroh on Saturday afternoon brought the deepest sorrow to her wide circle of friends. Her long life in this community had been such an active one and her last illness so brief that it was hard for those who knew her best to realize that she had passed to that realm from which none returns and that she would no longer move among them. Death was due to paralysis, from which she had suffered less than a week, and the grief of her loved ones was the deeper because, in her closing days, she was unable to speak the parting messages that her eyes and actions expressed. The end was peaceful, befitting a nature so loving and gentle. Mrs. Mary Morgan Stroh was the oldest of three daughters born to Edward and Jane (Daniels) Morgan. Her father had come to Pittston as a young man from his native country, Wales, and was married in this city in the early fifties to Jane Daniels, who also at that time was a resident of Pittston. For a few years after their marriage, Mr. and Mrs. Morgan resided in New Jersey, and it was in that State that their eldest daughter was born on June lst, 1857. Had she lived until the coming June she would have been 56 years of age. Though born in New Jersey, nearly all of her life was passed in Pittston, her parents having returned to this city while she was still a child, and with the exception of five years in the early part of her married life, she resided in the Morgan homestead, on No. Main St., where she passed away on Saturday afternoon. This property, so well known to Pittston people,had been purchased by her father from Abel C. Thompson on the return of the family from New Jersey and on his death passed into the hands of the daughter.
The deceased was married to Solomon D. Stroh in this city of April (6,16,26??), 1884, and the married life of the esteemed couple has been a most happy one. The union was blessed by a large family of children, and the mother was ever devoted to their welfare. They were uppermost in her mind, even after they had established homes of their own, and the frequent family gatherings at the homestead were occasions of great happiness to the mother. Her life had been filled with the varied duties of the housewife and mother, still she found time for service outside her home and it was one of her greatest pleasures to renew the acquaintance of the friends of her youth, with whom she kept in the closest touch. She was a faithful member of the First Presbyterian Church and was also an active worker in the woman's Christain Temperance Union and in the Auxiliary of the YMCA. Her interest in these organizations was of the practical sort, and they will miss her much.
Mrs. Stroh's nature was such as to win and keep friends. She was much devoted to her home and family, yet she was very busy with other good work, and she will long be remembered for her kindness of heart, which manifested itself in many loving acts of practical sympathy toward her neighbors and acquaintances. She carried good cheer wherever she went and will be sorely missed in many homes where she was a welcome visitor. A generous-hearted, noble woman, who was faithful in all the relations of life, has gone to her reward. Her family and friends will grieve because she will no longer move among them with her loving and helpful ways, but mourn not as those without hope. Her faith in her Maker was steadfast, and her life was an exemplification of the Christian graces. In this there is comfort for the sorrowing ones.
The surviving members of the family are her husband and the following children: Mrs. Fred Bennetto, of Wilkes-Barre; Mrs. Arthur Luce, of West Pittston; Mrs. Leroy Kennedy, of Parsonage St.; Marion, Morgan, and Gertrude, who reside at the homestead. Mrs. Stroh is also survived by one sister, Mrs. Wheeler Holmes, of West Pittston.
The funeral services will be help at the home tomorrow afternoon at 2:30 o'clock and will be conducted by Rev., R.A. Rinker, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, Rev. T.C. Edwards, of Kingston, and old friend of the family, has been invited to have in part of the services, and will present if his health permits. Interment will be in Pittston Cemetery.
