Strohwig was born in Prussia, June 4, 1825, and died Saturday morning June 25, 1898, aged 73 years and 21 days. Mr. Strohwig was married to Miss Wilhelmina Michelis, January 24, 1850, and two years later, with his wife, bid good bye to their fatherland and cast their lot in this country. They lived in Wisconsin five years, and forty years ago came to this county along with the first settlers. He entered a farm five miles northwest of this city, which he improved, and on which he lived and labored a quarter of a century. He then moved to Marion, this state, where he resided two years, and some fourteen years ago moved to Holton, where he has since resided. He was one of the charter members that organized the Evangelical church in this city, of which he was a leading active member and worker for thirty-eight years. Mr. Strohwig was one among the first citizens of this county with whom the writer became acquainted nearly twenty-nine years ago, and the respect and confidence he inspired at that time has not in the least respect waned during an intimate acquaintance of over a quarter of a century. We along with all who have known him, have always regarded him as a noble, intelligent and good Christian citizen, and a kind and obliging neighbor. Some four months ago he was striken with the disease cancer of the stomach, which finally released him from the sufferings and care of this life, and although his sufferings were intense, he bore them with Christian patience, while his faith and hope reached forward and anchored to that within the vale. Two sons and three daughters preceded the deceased to the spirit land. Those left to mourn a departed loving husband and kind father are his aged wife and daughter, Alice, and his sons, Frank, of this city, and William, Robert and Albert, who live in Wabaunsee County. The funeral was conducted by the deceased's pastor, Rev. C. W. Stauffer, in the Evangelical church last Sunday afternoon, in English, assisted by Rev. Philip Fricker, who delivered a discourse in German. The church was crowded with those who desired to pay a last mark of respect to their friend and neighbor, and after the solemn services a long procession followed the remains to the cemetery, the last earthly resting place of Wm. Strohwig. From the Holton Recorder, 25 June 1898, Page 8, Col 5. Newspaper at the Kansas Historical Society H-483
