Obituary: Strite.-Pre. C.R. Strite was born Feb. 23, 1864, near Maugansville, Md., where he spent all his life. He was a son of the late John and Magdaline Strite. On Dec. 18, 1884, he married Ellen Binkley, to which union were born one son and one daughter. On June 7, 1897, he was called as a minister to the Mennonite Church at Reiffs, which he served with much interest, "watching thereunto with all perseverance" for 30 years, when but a short while before his death He and his companion moved to the home of their son where he passed to his eternal reward on Jan. 5, 1928, from cancer of the liver; aged 63 y. 10 m. 13 d. He also served as chairman of the Washington Co., Md., and Franklin Co., Pa., Mission Board from the beginning of its organization until a few months ago when owing to physical disability he resigned. Notwithstanding his failing health his very last strength was used in preaching the Gospel. The Church in this Conference has lost one of its staunch leaders which will be felt for years to come. The touch of his support was felt by all defenders of the old-fashioned Faith who knew him in other conferences also. Besides his wife he is survived by his son (Edgar) and daughter (Mrs. Jacob Grove), one brother, and seven grandchildren. The large assembly at his funeral was a silent testimony of the extent of his influence. Services were conducted by the following brethren: M.K. Horst, J.F. Grove, John D. Risser and Denton Martin. Texts, Phil. 1:21; Psa. 132:14; II Tim. 4:7. Interment in the Reiffs Cemetery.
