OBITUARY: The Gordon Journal, Gordon, Nebraska, Sheridan County, Jan. 17, 1902
William H. Strong was born in Victor, Ontario county, N.Y., April 20, 1845. He
was married February 14, 1864, to Miss Mary Cole of Dundee, N.Y. Two children
were the result of this union, Geo. F., who resides in Oregon, Miss Dora, who
still resides at home. On March 28, 1872, his wife died, leaving him to struggle
alone in the world with two small children. January 6, 1875, he was married to
Miss Emma McFarland of Fairport, N.Y. Five sons were born to this union, four of
whom survive him and share the grief of a heart broken mother. The family moved
to Nebraska in 1885. In 1895 the deceased united with the Baptist church and
remained a faithful member until death claimed him and took him to his reward,
January 15, 1902. He was a kind husband, a loving father and a peaceable,
law-abiding citizen, always ready to lend a helping hand to the poor and
distressed. His motto in life was the golden rule. His funeral will be held
today at 1 p.m. from the M.E. church in Gordon, conducted by the Rev. J.A.
Scamahorn, and the body will be interred in the Gordon cemetery. The sympathy of
the community goes out to the bereaved family.
