----------
(From Monday's Daily.)
 ----------
          James H. Strickler,  74 years, 1 month, and 2 days old, well known retired business man, died unexpectedly at his home in Boggstown, this morning about 5 o'clock, of heart trouble, following several months of illness.  He had been troubled with rheumatism for some time, but his condition had not been considered serious.
          He was born on the old home farm in Sugar Creek township, south of Boggstown, where he grew to manhood and taught school for several years.  He had been engaged in the drug business for 35 years, in which occupation he was known to nearly every person in this and adjoining counties.  For a number of years he served as postmaster at Boggstown and handled the express and sale of railway tickets at that place.  He also conducted an agriculture implement store.
          Mr. Strickler was the son of  Geo. W. and  Rhoda Strickler  and was born Jan. 26, 1847, making him 74 years, 1 month and 2 days of age at the time of death.  He is survived by his widow,  Mrs. Grace Strickler,  and two children,  James P.,  aged 14, and  Karoline,  aged 12, two sisters and one brother,  Mrs. John W. Johnston,  of Boggstown,  Mrs. Chas. Allen,  of Hendricks township, and  Robert Strickler,  of Bering Springs, Mich.
          He was a brother of  Dr. S. L. Strickler,  prominent physician of Boggstown, who died in 1919, and a cousin of  Mrs. Thomas Nelis,  who died at her home in Hendricks township, this morning.
          Mr. Strickler's career was one of great prominence in the community where he resided practically all of his life and his death brings sorrow to the entire town.
          Funeral services will be held at the late home, Thursday morning at 10:30 o'clock, Rev. Elker Young, of Oklahoma, officiating.  Burial will probably be made in the Boggstown cemetery, where his brother, the late Dr. Strickler, was laid to rest.  Stewart & Fix are the undertakers in charge.
