Strope, Wright, Whitley, Miller Death Notices, July 6, 1921

Deaths-Funerals

MRS. ELIZABETH C. STRANGE

Funeral services for Mrs. Eliza Cauthey Stroupe, who died suddenly Tuesday night at her home, 1009 West Fourth street, will be held Wednesday afternoon at 5 o’clock at the residence. Rev. J.F. Crigler, pastor of St. Mark's Lutheran church, will officiate. Interment will be in Elmwood Cemetery.

Mrs. Stroupe was taken suddenly ill Tuesday afternoon. She was born in Gaston county having been a resident of Charlotte about 15 years.

She is survived by one son, Thomas Lee Stroupe, and two daughters, Lilly and Fannie Stroupe, all of this city. One sister, Mrs. Jacob Jenkins of Stanley also survives.

(The newspaper very clearly listed her as Elizabeth C. Strange in the headline and then Eliza Cauthey Stroupe in the story. It’s a Strange mistake.)

RUTH E. WRIGHT

Funeral services were to have been held at the residence Wednesday afternoon at 4 o’clock.

Mr. Whitley served through the four years of the Civil War in the Confederate army. He was a native of Stanley county, but had lived in Charlotte for a number of years.

One daughter, Mrs. Rowe, and one son, S.A. Whitley of Greensboro, survive.
