"JOSEPH STRICKLAND was born in the state of New Jersey, January 4, 1804, and removed with the family of his father, Joseph Strickland, sr., to Jefferson county, Ohio, prior to the war of 1812, and thence to Vermillion township, now Ashland county, a few years subsequent to the close of the war. His father had served honerably as a solder from New Jersey in the war of the Revolution, and died in Seneca county, Ohio, at the advanced age of eighty-six years in 1850. In 1826 Joseph Strickland, jr., the subject of this sketch, purchased and removed to the farm on which he deceased, in the northwest part of Vermillion township. He improved his homestead and made it a valuable property. He connected with the Methodist Episcopel church early in life, and was an exemplary Christian for over fifty years, and several times a leader in the church. He was noted for his domestic worth and kindness to his family. He affection and goodnees of heart had a cheerful influence over his children, all of whom revered, honored, and followed his counsel. As a citizen, he was quiet and unobtrusive. His integrety and uprightness fitted him for public promotion. He was fequently called upon by his neighbors to fill offices of trust in his township. He served as trustee, justice of the peace and infirmary director, and retired from the latter postion, some years since, because of a paralytic attack, which disabled him, and prevented and active discharge of public duties. In politics he was a Democrat, and had been from his arrival at manhood. He was noted for his benevolent and kindly feelings, and made an excellant infirmary director. He has goine home to rest with the just and the pure. May his example as a Christian and a man have its influence upon those who remain to conduct the affairs of their fellow citizens.

Mr. Strickland died at his residence in the northwest part of Vermillion township, Sunday, October 8, 1876, after a long and painful attack of paralysis, aged seventy-two years, nine months, and one day.

At a meeting of the obituary committee of the Historical and Pioneer association, of Ashland county, appropriate resolutions were adopted regarding his decease."
