The funeral was held from the Enterprise schoolhouse, Saturday, June 4th, Rev. W.F. Herman officiating. The body was followed by many relatives and friends to Hope Cemetery nearby for interment.
From the place of her birth, Mrs. Strope removed with her parents to Bradford, Penn., where she was married in 1848 to Mr. M. D. Strope. To this union were born three sons and two daughters, four of whom are living; Mrs. Emma Canning and Mrs. Janet Strauss, both of Portland, Ore. One son, W.W., lives at Venus and the other, A.A., resides in Orchard, where their mother lived at the time of her death.
Mrs. Strope lived with the husband of her youth for sixty-two years and at the time of her death, he was sick and unable to leave his bed.
Mrs. Strope and her husband removed to Wisconsin in 1865 and came to Nebraska in June 1879, where they took up a homestead near what is known as the Walnut Postoffice.
In early life, the deceased became a Christian and united with the church and was always active in Sunday School and other religious services.
At the time of her death, she was a member in good standing of the United Breathern in Christ. A faithful mother in Israel has gone home.
Mrs. Strope was a good neighbor, a faithful wife and a kind mother. She lived to see her children of the fourth generation.
The lonely husband and father, with his children, have the sympathy of a large circle of friends in this sad hour.
