John E. Strouss Of Tampico, Dies At Amboy Hospital
John Edward Strouss, 76, barber in Tampico for nearly fifty years, died at about 10:00 Sunday night, March 11, 1951, in the Amboy Public hospital. In failing health for the past five months, he had been a patient in the Amboy hospital since February 1st, following hospitalization the previous two weeks in Sterling and Rochester, Minn.
Born December 23, 1874, near Fisher, Champaign county, Ill., a son of John and Mary Campbell Strouss, he grew to young manhood on a farm there. When he was twenty, the family moved to a farm in Hamilton Township, Lee County and he continued in the vocation of farming for several years, then learned the barber trade. He established a shop in Tampico in April, 1900, and operated it continuously until early in January, 1951, with the exception of two years during which he operated a shop in Crystal Lake, Ill.
Mr. Strouss was married to Miss Amy L. Ewer on February 12, 1901, at the home of her parents on a farm in Lee County, north of Walnut.
Surviving are his widow; one son, Gene, and a granddaughter, Beverly, both of Amboy; two brothers, A. G. Strouss of Mishawaka, Ind., and L. E. Strouss, Earlville; one sister, Mrs. V. J. (Cassie) McDougall, of Arlington Heights. He was preceded in death by one son, Kenneth, one daughter, Gwendolyn; his parents; two sisters and four brothers.
With passing of Mr. Strouss, Tampico lost one of its most highly respected and best loved citizens. In point of years in business he was Tampico's oldest business man.
His outstanding characteristic was his friendliness to those of all ages and in return everyone became his friend, as shown by their solicitude during his illness. It can truly be said of Mr. Strouss that "he lived in a house by the side of the road and was a friend to man."
Funeral services were conducted by Rev. Frank Peterson at the Parent chapel Wednesday afternoon at two o'clock. Burial was in the Tampico Memorial cemetery with Richard Kelly, Dyson Kepner, J. E. Cain, Vernon Newman, W. Furry and Glenn Glassburn serving as pallbearers.
