"STRANGE--Mrs. S. A. Strange, nee Knowles, was born January 10, 1842, ten years later was born again, joined the church of which she remained a consistent member until her translation, June 19, 1897. She was married to A. A. Strange, in 1857. Ten children blessed the union, all of whom are members of the church. She was the first of the immediate family to cross the river. As she led in all good things it was accorded her still to be in advance of her husband and children. In all the relations of life she was true and faithful. Her's was a type of religion that was after the pattern of the Sermon on the Mount. Humility its distinguishing feature. There was no noise or parade or high claim to attainments made, but her ears were always open to the cry of distress, her feet were swift to carry relief where it was needed, and her hands were never too weary to toil for those who were suffering. Of course she loved all mankind, because she had religion. The united testimony of those who knew her best, was that she never said an evil or unkind word of any one. An invalid for twenty-five years, she was seldom permitted the services of the sanctuary, but she feasted her soul upon the word while the children and husband were at church. She has passed to her reward."
