Decatur Democrat, Adams Co, IN; Thursday, December 11, 1902
Mrs. Elizabeth Strickler, oldest lady in the county and one of the oldest in the
state, died at her home near Steele in Blue Creek township, Monday night. She was 102
years, nine months and six days old, having been born in Pennsylvania in the year 1800.
She has lived in this county however longer than an ordinary life time and was well known
to many people over the county. She has enjoyed good health during nearly all of her long
life and until recently, when infirmities began to appear and life faded gradually away.
Her death was caused directly by heart trouble and the end came without the least pain.
The funeral services were held yesterday from the Mt. Tabor church.
