General Notes: Husband - Lyman S. Strickler


He was reared on a farm until fifteen years of age, when he engaged as a clerk in the store of the Fayette Coke Works, and remained three years. He responded to the call of the Federal government for volunteers, in 1862, and enlisted in a Pennsylvania volunteer regiment. He was engaged in the battles of Antietam, Chickamauga and Stone River; participated in the capture of Jefferson Davis, and was honorably discharged at Nashville, Tennessee, in 1865.
After the war, Mr. Strickler was engaged for eight years in farming and milling in Franklin County, Tennessee. In 1873 he returned to Lower Tyrone township, Fayette County, Pennsylvania, and engaged in farming. He owned the old "Smiley" farm, containing 150 acres of good land, situated one-fourth of a mile north of Dawson, where he dealt in Holstein cattle and Chester hogs.
