            Strohbeck Rites Set for Sunday
            
                BRIGHTON, March 22, (Special) -- Funeral rites for Mrs. Luella Strohbeck, wife of
            Theodore L. Strohbeck of the Sterling vicinity, near here, have been set for Sunday.
            Short services are to be conducted at the family home at 1 p. m. followed by rites
            at 2 p. m. in the Congregational Church at Bunker Hill, and burial will be in Woodburn
            cemetery.  The Rev. James Connett of Brighton will conduct the rites, assisted by the
            Rev. Burk of Bunker Hill.  The body will be at the family home after 4 p. m. today.
            Mrs. Strohbeck died Thursday afternoon at Alton Memorial Hospital. She was born
            Nov. 30, 1873, daughter of William and Eliza Miller Eddington, pioneer residents of
            the Sterling neighborhood.  She was married to Mr. Strohbeck 45 years ago on Feb. 27,
            1895.
                Beside her husband, she is survived by the following children: Newell, supervisor
            of Brighton township, Dewey, Roy, Kenneth and Mrs. Myrtle Graul of Brighton vicinity,
            Earl of Alton; three brothers, Hiram, Harvey and Norman Eddington, all of Brighton,
            and nine grandchildren.
                Mrs. Strohbeck's illness was of about a week's duration.  She had been taken ill
            last Friday night and last Monday, when her condition was found to have serious
            aspects, she was moved to the hospital.  In her lifetime in the Sterling district she
            had become endeared to a wide circle of friends------------------a helpful and kindly
            neighbor and a woman devoted to the interests of her home and family. Her church
            membership was with the former Fosterburg M. E. Church in which she had taken active
            interest.
