The birth information was copied from the family bible held by the youngest child, Mable. Asa and Susan could not write and therefore would have to wait until a learned person visited their home for an entry to be made in the Bible. The dates may or may not be correct.

Note: Two birth dates were found for Marion as well. The Bible lists August 6, 1886 which must be incorrect as Lemuel was born this year. The records show the date to be August 11, 1888.

LIFE CRUSHED OUT
AL LARGE TREE SLIPPED
-----------------------
Neighbor Gives Details of
manner in which Mr. Strobridge
Met Death
-------------------------
Funeral services were held yesterday at Greenspring for the late Mr. Marion Lee Strobridge,
son of Mr and Mrs. A. J. Strobridge, who was killed Monday evening when a large white oak
fell the wrong way. The services, which were conducted at the Methodist Church by the Rev.
P. J. Lawrence were attended by a very large gathering of friends of the young man, and there
were many expressions of sympathy for his widow and child and other relatives. Interment
was at Old Stone Church.

Additional details of the manner in which Mr. Strobridge was killed were obtained by The Star
from Mr. F. L. Barrett, a neighbor, who was first to be called. Mr. Barrett said he learned that
Mr. Strobridge had been given a large oak tree by Mr. William LeHew, tenant of the William
Bailey farm, and that Mr. Strobridge and Mr. LeHew and Mr. William Newlin were sawing
down the tree, which was to be cut up into stove wood by Mr. Strobridge. The tree had been
sawed almost in two, when the saw became caught and it was necessary to get wedges.

Mr. Strobridge had apparently calculated on the tree falling in the opposite direction, and
although it started that way it slipped and fell backward. The other men called out to Mr.
Strobridge to run, as they did and as he started to get away from under the tree a large
limb struck him and bore him to the ground.

The tree was three feet across the stump and the limb which struck the man was one foot
across. The limb was sawed off as quickly as possible, but the man's life already had been
crushed out. The imprint of his body was plainly visible on the ground which was somewhat
soft at the place. It appeared that his intestines had been forced up against his chest
suffocating him.

Mr. Barrett said he ran to the scene of the accident as soon as he heard of what had happened,
but that Mr. Strobridge was dead when he arrived.
