Strickland was a man a who was generally liked hv every body and had been one of l.ouis- j( burg's leadiqg business men, having been the senior member of the cloth- ^ iiig firm of Strickland Jk Wheless until a few years ago when he sold his interest in the business and moved to Apex with the hope of improving his health. He remained w there something over a year and returned to Louisburg last summer n with the intention o re-entering into C business here, but his health would not allow him to do so. He was a jg member of the board of town com- s "inissioners for many years in succession and was always firm for ^ what he thought was to the interest of his fellowmen, Mr. Strickland was 52 years old and leaves four ? children, Misses Belle and Lois, and -Alessre.
