Notes for Justus Clayton STRAWBRIDGE
Philadelphia Inquirer, March 30, 1911
"MR. STRAWBRIDGE TO BE BURIED TODAY
Accompanied by Mrs. Strawbridge, her sister, Miss Elizabeth Allen, and physicians who tended him during his fatal illness the body of Justus C, Strawbridge was brought to
Philadelphia yesterday on the Southern express. The casket of the dead merchant, who succumbed at his winter home, "Shateep," near Thomaston, Ga., reposed in a private car on the train.
Mrs. Strawbridge has not yet recovered from the shock of her husband's sudden death and is under the care of her doctors.
The funeral will be held from the home at 3 o'clock this afternoon. The service will be the simple but impressive one of the Friends, of which sect Mr. Strawbridge was a life-long member. Interment will be in West Laurel Hill Cemetery, and unless the plans are changed it will be strictly private.
At a meeting of the Market Street Merchants' Association on Tuesday at the New Bingham Hotel the following resolution was passed: "We, the members of the Market Street Merchants' Association, desire to place n record our deep sorrow at the death of our distinguished fellow citizen, Mr. Justus C. Strawbridge, one of the founders of the firm
of Strawbridge & Clothier, and we unite with Philadelphians of all denominations in regretting that his long. useful and honorable life is thus brought to a close."
