Go home dear friend;
Dry up your tears;
We will meet again;
When Christ appears.

OBITUARY - Adelphi Border News - April 12, 1901
Died Near Lancaster.
The venerable mother of Mr. Robert Goodman, who was removed from this place a few weeks ago, died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Isaac George, near Lancaster, on Monday last. As is well-known the old lady has not been right in mind for many years, and in this helpless condition she was cared for by her son Robert and his family, until a few weeks ago, when Mr. Goodman's wife became seriously ill. It was then found necessary to remove her to the home of her daughter over near Lancaster, where the old lady, already at the point of death soon expired. Although death is sad at all times, yet in this case, it was to be welcomed, as the poor woman was a burden to all about her, while life to her was but a drag.

The remains were brought here Tuesday morning, and services were held at the M.E. church, with Rev. M. Dent as officiating minister. Many relatives from a distance and sympathizing friends were in attendance. Interment was made in the Strous (Belle View) Cemetery.

IN MEMORIAM.
Miss Leah Strawser, daughter of Philip and Margaret Strawser, was born July 6th, 1814, and departed this life April 8th, 1901, at the advanced age of 80 years, 9 months and 2 days. She was the oldest of eight children and the last to be called to the spirit world. She was a member of the German Lutheran church for a number of years. Deceased was married to Joseph Goodman on the 3rd of June, 1838, the husband having preceeded her several years ago. She leaves to mourn her loss four sons, two daughers, twenty-six grandchildren, twenty-four great-grandchildren and a large number of other relatives and friends.

Leah and Joseph GOODMAN (the son of Peter GOODMAN and Maria Elizabeth (Betsy) NAGLE) were married June 3, 1838 at Ross Co., Ohio.

Leah's parents were Phillip and Margaret (surname unknown at this time) STRAWSER.

Leah's grandparents were Johann Henrich STRASSER, I, (b. August 24, 1757 at Berks County, PA and d. in 1830 at Colerain Twp., Ross Co, OH) and Margaret (surname unknown - b. in 1758, and d. in 1804).

Leah's great grandparents were Johann Nicholas Strasser and Maria Elisabeth, his wife. Links are provided to their memorials in Berks Co., PA.
