THE ADAIR COUNTY NEWS, Wednesday, 1 May 1901

Mr. J. K. STRANGE Dead: Last Monday forenoon at the hour of 11:40, after an affliction of many years, Mr. J. K. STRANGE, one of the best known citizens of Adair county, died at his late home in this city.

His death was not unexpected, as his condition had been alarming for several weeks and his family and friends realized for a number of days that he was fighting his last battle for life, and that Death would conquer.

As an upright citizen he stood in the from ranks with his fellowmen, and was honored and respected throughout this county for his integrity, moral and religious character.

He was born and reared near Glenville, this county, and was a son of Mr. and Mrs. Abram STRANGE, who preceded him to the grave many years ago.

Reaching manhood, he commenced selling goods in the
neighborhood where he was reared, and at the age of thirty he removed to Columbia and continued in the same business several years, then returned to the country. About the year 1872 or 3 he was elected sheriff of Adair county, which office he held four terms, two by election and two by
appointment. During his career he filled other position of trust, meriting the esteem of everyone with whom he was connected for correctness in business affairs.

The deceased had lived in Columbia continuously for the past twenty-eight or thirty years, the last five years being spent at the home of Mr. Rollin HURT, whose wife is a daughter of Mrs. STRANGE by her first husband.

Mr. STRANGE was sixty five years of age the 15th day of last April and was twice married. His first wife was Miss Fannie
TAYLOR, a daughtes (sic) of Mr. S. P. TAYLOR, who died a few years ago. Of this union three children were born, Alvin, Lucian and Porter STRANGE. Alvin, is here, Lucian died eight years ago and Porter resides in Texas.

Several years after the death of the first wife Mr. STRANGE was again married to Mrs. Anna CHANDLER, of Taylor county, and with her he lived happily until his death. During his long illness no person ever received closer attention nor was kindness ever more freely and tenderly administered.

The deceased was a member of the Christian Church and had
been for many years. Ever body know Jack STRANGE, as he was familiarly called, and although he was sorely afflicted and ready to meet his God, every body regrets to lose a citizen who has at all times stood for honor and the right in every particular.

The funeral services were conducted by Eld. Z. T. WILLIAMS yesterday afternoon and when they were concluded the
Masonic Fraternity took charge of the remains, and at the conclusion of their solemn and impressive ceremony, the body was laid to rest in the city cemetery.
