General Notes: Husband - Joseph B. Strickler

---

He followed merchandising at Greencastle, Pennsylvania, for some years. In the Civil War he was a first lieutenant in Company C, Second Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, in 1861. He moved to Nemaha County, Nebraska, in 1872, and began farming.

After receiving a common school education, he entered the dry goods store of John Rowe as clerk. At the breaking out of the War of the Rebellion, he responded to the first call of President Lincoln for three months' volunteer troops, and entered the service as a first lieutenant, in Company C, 2d P. V. I. In the spring of 1863 he moved to the old homestead farm near Clayhill, Franklin County, Pennsylvania. In the spring of 1867 he entered into partnership with Henry P. Prather in the dry goods business in Greencastle, but in the spring of 1872 he moved to Nemaha County, Nebraska, where he purchased a tract of land and engaged in cultivating the virgin soil of that state, in which occupation he continued from some years. He later lived retired in South Auburn, Nebraska.
