The spirit of Mrs. Ica {sic] (Noel) Strosnider went to the great Father of life at her father's home place near Bethel Christian church, Greene County, February 2, 1916. She was born March 17, 1888, aged twenty-seven years, ten months and fifteen days.
She was the only and beloved daughter of Peter and Alice NOEL. She was married to Virgil Strosnider , September, 1909. To this union were born three children, Ray, Bert and Dorothy. Besides a large circle of relatives and friends she is survived by her husband, children, parents and the following brothers: Joseph, Clinton, Burgess and Benton NOEL, her parents and brothers living in Bloomfield.
She developed in her earthly life, love and dutifulness for her parents, sisterly affection for her brothers, devotion for her husband, a big motherly heart for her children, loyalty to her many friends and faithfulness to her God and Savior.
When fifteen years of age she gave her life to Jesus at the Bethel Christian Church, and when she came to Bloomfield she united with the Christian church at that place, and last September she united with the Bethel church again, as her home was so near this church.
She was given great sustaining graced from her Savior in her sickness, which resulted in her home going.
As she approached the 'great divide' between this life and her future home she triumphantly said, "I am so happy,'O death where is thy sting,' grave where is thy victory."
Her unselfishness showed itself in her suffering, as she counseled her loved ones not to grieve for her, assuring them of peace, rest and safety in which was about to enter. Manifesting much patience and fortitude she peacefully bade earth adieu to be greeted by her savior beyond.
The funeral services were conducted by Elder Logan Hatfield, Friday, February 4, 1916, at the Bethel church. Interment in the Dishman Cemetery.
