Miss Gertrude Striffler, who teaches school at Snover, spent the weekend at her home here.

Gertrude Striffler was a teacher at the Cedar Run School from 1926-1928. She is pictured with the Class of 1927 in "The Way it Was" a publication of "The Cass City Area Historical Society" Volume 7, January 2002, Number 1. Cedar Run School was located on the north side of Elmwood Road, just west of Cedar Run Road. It was called Elmwood #1 Fractional because although it was located in Elmwood Township, it was just across the road from Ellington Township, so students came from both townships.

Bonnie Margaret Jacobs, in her 1981 unpublished manuscript, wrote that Jacob and his brother John Striffler "decided they'd join the migration west and they had heard of the opening territory of Michigan and the potentially good farm land there. Sight unseen, they bought land for two farms at $2 per acred and set out with their families for their new home in 1859....the trip was reasonably easy the first part of the way. They could catch a boat from Buffalo to the Michigan shores and from there, wagon on to their new land....they found the forest so dense that there was no way to get to the land they had purchased. Disgusted and disappointed, they were prepared to return to Lancaster. But the men in Watrousville [now Caro] advised they not to be so foolish. It was good farm land---once the trees were harvested and a part of each land sale seems to have included a provision that the price of the land did not include the pine that stood on it. Lumbering rights were held by large lumbering companies and the Strifflers could expect to be able to establish their homes by the next spring. So the two young families remained in Watrousville for the winter. Fortunately as well as being experienced farmers, the men were accomplished coopers. So they supported themselves by the making of barrels and buckets through the winter and finally were able to get thier land the next summer." (pp. 151, 152, and Jacobs cites both the "Memoirs of John A. Benkelman," along with interviews with Elsie Buehrly Anthes, Leonard Striffler and Mrs. Ben Schwegler).

He and Louisa were charter members of the Evangelical United Brethren Church in Cass City.

About midnight, Monday, Jacob Striffler, living two miles east and north of town, breathed his last. He had resided here since 1860, and labored hard to make fruitful what was then a wilderness, not without succes. The funeral took place yesterday at the Evangelical Church, Rev. C.W. Ross officiating and being assisted by Rev. J.W. Fenn. The pall bearers were from among his associates and were also pioneers. The attendance was large and the services impressive. Deceased was born March 31, 1918 at Kirrberg, Germany (formerly France) and fell asleep in Jesus at his home September 24, 1895, aged 76 years, 5 months, and 23 days. In 1830 he came with his parents to America and located near Buffalo, NY, he moved to Watrousville, Mich in 1859, and he came her one year later. Early in life he converted to God, became a member of the Evangelical Church, lived a devoted Christian life and was true until called from labor to reward. He also served in a capacity of a class-leader for many years. Mr. Striffler leaves a sorrowing wife, two sons and two daughter (two sons and two daughters precededd him to the better land), three brothers, one sister and a large circle of friends. May God grant all a happy reunion in heaven.

22219 I12721  Striffler  Jacob Anton  20 Oct 1779  3 Mar 1850  According to the Rev. Roy J. Striffler, the Striffler's emigrated from the Alsace-Lorraine region of France to New York State in 1830. They were part of the German-speaking population of Alsace. Some of the older Striffler family members recalled a family joke---there were 11 boys in the family, and all of them had a sister Susanna. She married Christian Oscar Lenzner. Family genealogists have only been able to account for eight of the 12 children however. Two of the boys married Benkelman sisters. One son married Mary Rommel, and as there were several Benkelman/Rommel marriages as well, the two families became further intertwined.

Although the family originally settled in New York only Jacob's son David remained in New York. Peter pushed further west, to Kansas. Around 1880, most of the others settled in Cass City, Michigan, where they lived until their deaths. They cut off the stumps remaining on the land they built and turned the wilderness into fruitful farm land.

(Excerpted from Art Peck's THE TEN BENKELMANS WHO EMIGRATED TO AMERICA. He in turn references a September 4, 1950 article from the "Striffler-Benkelman Broadcast", Volume 13, Cass City, Michigan)

Both the flyleaf of the Striffler family Bible, and the tombstone of Jacob Striffler in Lancaster, showed him to be be born in Kirrberg, "departmente de Rhein." (Jacobs, p. 164). In the chapter on the Striffler family in her unpublished 1981 manuscript, BonnieMargaret Jacobs noted that widely spread family stories stated that the Striffler family originated in Switzerland (p. 164). It would appear these were either errorneous, or that the family moved from Switzerland to Alsace.


BonnieMargaret Benkelman Jacobs, in an undated family report she prepared for some of the descendants of the Striffler brothers who married Benkelmann sisters, wrote that birth records had been of the children born to Jacob and Otillia "Have been extracted from the French civil records and translated, and show 8 children born in France, two of whom died while still just children (one was only 15 months old, the other just a few months past their sixth birthday). She stated that "these official civil records support the oft repeated family joke, "There are seven brothers and each one has a sister." On page 165 of her unpublished 1981 manuscript documenting the Benkelman family, she repeated this saying, adding however that "one Striffler heard the riddle with 11 brothers and it should be noted that there is still much to be learned about this family."

With the records in France showing 8 children were born there, and census records show two known children born in the United States, it appears we can account for 10 of the 11. It is possible that records may be uncovered one day to find the final child, or that this final son may have been stillborn or died at a young age, and his memory passed down only through the family joke or riddle.

J.H. Striffler Passed Away-
Long Prominent in the Community as Auctioneer and Business Man-
Served Cass City and Elkland Township as Office for Many Years

Cass City lost a prominent citizen, one who has been long connected with the business and political affairs of the community, in the death of Jacob H. Striffler, who passed away at his home on East Main street Sunday evening, May 31. Mr. Striffler, in his 45 years of residence here, has been unusually active as a business man and through his tireless energy has done much to bring the Cass City community to the front in a business way.
Mr. Striffler was born in Lancaster, N.Y. on Jan. 6, 1851. On January 22, 1880, at Lancaster, he was united in marriage with Miss Sophia Helwig and the following March they came to Cass City, settling on the Striffler homestead just east of the corporation line of the village.
Mr. Striffer established a farm implement business here in 1882 which he conducted for a period of 19 years. At the age of 19 years, when still a resident of Lancaster, he commenced his activities as an auctioneer, and shortly after coming here, he entered in earnest into his career in this profession which he followed for about 35 years in this community. Many a sale had "Jake" Striffler in charge in that long period and he found it very difficult to give up auctioneering eight or ten years ago when his health made it advisable for him to do so, because he enjoyed the work and so many were insistent that he at least continue until their sales were made.
Engaged as a farmer, implement dealer, cattle buyer and auctioneer, all at one time, Mr. Striffler still found time to give attention to political affairs of the community. He served his township as supervisor, treasurer and highway commissioner and Cass City as village president and trustee.
After a life of unusual activity, Mr. Striffler found it extremely trying to give up his hard work when ill health forced him to "ease up" four years ago.
Funeral services were held at the Evangelical church of which Mr. Striffler was a member on Wednesday afternoon conducted by the pastor, Rev. C.F. Smith. Interment was made in Elkland cemetery.
Besides his widow, he leaves give children, Mrs. O.W. NIQUE of Decker, Mrs. A.A.RICKER and Calvin J.

John Striffler has Passed Away
Settled in Elkland Township 62 Years Ago; Prominent in the Early History of Cass City Community

On the tombstone we carve the name of our beloved dead and then two dates--the year of birth and the year of death. Between these two lies the history of the dead and yet so few know that history. Between Mar. 15, 1833 and July 12, 1922, lies the life history of John Striffler. He was born on a farm near Lancaster, N.Y. and passed on to his home eternal at Cass City, Michigan.

A few months after his marriage to Miss Mary Benkelman at Lancaster on Nov. 14, 1858, Mr. Striffler came to Tuscola county. They resided six months at Watrousville and then completed their journey overland through the timber to Elkland township where they hewed out a home in the woods, and finally saw beautiful farms take the place of the timber tracts. Mrs. Striffler passed away on May 4, 1913. Two children also preceded the father in death, one child at the age of four years, and Mrs. Salome Bien, a daughter, whose death occured but a few months ago.

Coming into the community when it was sparsely settled and all covered with timber and when it took four days' travel with ox teams to go from Vassar to the cite where Cass City now stands, Mr. Striffler had ample opportunity to test the hardships of early pioneer life in the Thumb district. His services in the early days proved valuable and his neighbors soon placed him with the responsibilities of various township offices.

John Striffler was a man of generous impluse and never forgot the hospitable ways of the pioneer. Friend or stranger never failed to find food and shelter if he sought it at his hands, and he delighted in kind and neighborly deeds. Many a poor family found relief from his storehouse and many people enjoyed his hospitality. His home was always open to all, poor or well-to-do, and many found pleasure in the entertainment provided therein. He had borne adversity bravely and enjoyed prosperity quietly. He had filled the various relations of life as husband, father, brother, friend and filled them satifactorily and his life work was well done.

He is survived by five children, Mrs. Archie MARK, G.A. STRIFFLER, Mrs. W.R. KAISER, and Miss Martha STRIFFLER, all of Cass City, and David STRIFFLER of Columbus, Georgia, 12 grandchildren and 14 great grandchildren. Since the death of his wife, his daughter, Martha, has been the companion and faithful attendant of her father.

Funeral services will be held in the Evangelical church which Mr. Striffler attended for many years. It is planned to hold the service Saturday afternoon unless David Striffler, who is on his way home from Georgia, is delayed in his journey from the south.

19 year old Philip Striffler is likely the son of David and Sophia Striffler of Lancaster, New York. David was said to have died in 1872, and it appears that at least his oldest son left New York after his father died, so perhaps Philip did as well. Leonard Buehrly was from same village in Germany as Mary, and would later marry the granddaughter of her brother, Frederick Benkelman.

Passed the Portals

Another Pioneer citizen, Joseph Striffler, passed away last Tuesday morning. During the past three years he had been gradually failing, and most of the time was as helpless as a child. During all those weary weeks and months he made his home with his daughter, Mrs. Samuel BENKELMAN, who with unusual filial love cared for her father, although at times the care and anxiety thurst upon her became exceedingly burdensome. Joseph Striffler, during his younger years, was a man of sterling character, always true to his convictions and was more than ordinarily successful in the affairs of this world. His days were many. He lived to be nearly 77 years old. The deceased was born in Alsace, Germany, Sept. 17, 1825. He came to American with his parents in his fourth year and settled in Erie county, N.Y. In the year 1854 he was united in marriage to with Rosanna BALBASH of Lancaster, N.Y. and the same year moved to Scotland County, Mo., residing there elven years and from thence removed to Lee County, Ia. In November, 1876, he moved with his two daughters, and a foster child, now Mrs. J. BENKELMAN, his wife having died the previous year, to Cass City, where he has lived ever since. His two daughters, Mrs. Jacob MAIER and Mrs. Samuel BENKELMAN, survive him. The funeral was held at the Evangelical church on Thursday morning, Rev. L. BRUMM officiating. The remains were laid to rest in Elkland Cemetery.

Note: Joseph Striffler's foster daughter was Augusta Krehl, who married John Adam Benkelman.

THE ONAGA JOURNAL 26 JAN 1882
Clear Creek items 17 Jan. 1882: It is with sadness that we report the death of one of our oldest settlers, Mr. Peter Striffler. Last Friday morning he was out about his work, as usual, but about 10 o'clock he went into the house and laid down, and complained of feeling unwell. About 11 o'clock he raised up to vomit and fell over, partly on the floor. His wife, ran to the nearest neighbors for help, when he was placed back on the bed, dead. Funeral services were held at the Bluff Creek school house Sunday afternoon. While the corpse was being viewed by the friends, someone remarked that he did not look like a dead person, considerable excitement ensued, when it was decided to have an examination. Dr. Dean was sent for, who, upon arrival, pronounced his dead, and that in his opinion his death was caused from an affliction of the heart. Mr. Striffler was a good neighbor and citizen, and his loss will long be felt in the community. The bereaved family has the heartfelt sympathy of the whole neighborhood. He was 66 years old and has been a resident of Kansas for a good many years.

Oil Salesman, 72, Is Killed As Cars Crash in Beebe Road

NEWFANE - A 72 year old salesman for the Dahl Oil Co. here for the last five years was killed instantly at 9:58 a.m. today in a head-on , two-car crackup in rain-slicked Beebe Road, about a mile north of Ridge Road. Roy C. Striffler, 566 High St., was pronounced dead at the scene by County Coroner Dr. George V. Muscato. Death was due to head and internal injuries according to the Sheriff's Department.

Chester L. Borget, 21, of 2720 Ridge Road, Ransomville, the other drive , was shaken up and treated and released at Ransomville General Hospital.

Sheriff's Deputies William M. Sibolski, William H. Munch and Paul E. Crane, and Criminal Deputy John W. Cole investigated.

Mr. Borget told the deputies he was traveling north in Beebe Road and that the Striffler car was headed south when the collision occured. He said the Striffler car apparently was attempting to make a left turn into a driveway.

Fred Dahl, owner of the Dahl firm, Park Avenue, said Mr. Striffler left the office this morning to collect bills and that he was "in his usual good spirits." He said Mr. and Mrs. Striffler had celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary in June.

Mr. Striffler, who formerly operated the Elevated Coal Co., Lockport, for several years, had been a salesman for the Dahl firm since Jan 1, 1957. Before working at Dahl's he had been a salesman for the Crosby-Whipple Oil Col, here.

Surviving besides his wife, are a daughter, Mrs. Clement H. Whitmore, and two brothers, Floyd and Glen Striffler, all of Lockport. Funeral arrancgements were being made.

Roy Striffler's Son Dies in Accident
From Geneva (Ohio) Free Press

Less than an hour after her hurried from his sixth grade class at the Geneva school building, Roy Philip Striffler, 11-year-old son of Rev. and Mrs. R.J. Striffler, Eagle Street, died at Community Hospital where he had been rushed immediately after the bicycle on which he was riding was struck by an automobile on North Broadway at about 4:00 p.m. Wednesday.

The car that struck the boy was driven by A.E. Dreese, West Maple Avenue, a former pastor of the North Center Church and now employed at the Geneva Metal Wheel Co. Mrs. Dreese told Geneva authorities that the lad rode from between two parked cars near the Pleasant Street intersection.

The elderly driver, well-known in Geneva church and community circles, said the youngster was directly in front of the care "before I had a chance to stop." Taken to Community Hospital at about 4:15, the boy died five minutes later.

Ashtabula County Coroner, C.C. Webster, Geneva, and Patrolman Archie Drought, who jointly investigated the accident, exonerated Mr. Dreese of any blame. It was reported that the driver of the car had just left his work at The Geneva Metal Wheel Co. and was on his way home. He was travelling at a moderate speed, officials said.

Officials reported that the boy's death resulted from a fractured skull and broken neck.

Young Striffler was just beginning to take deserved pride in his newspaper route. Wednesday night was his third night ont he route which he carried from the Geneva Bus Station. Delivering the Ashtabula Star-Beaso in the northern portion of the village, the youngster had just started his delivery when he was hit by the car. Prior to Wednesday night, he had been accompanied by the boy who had formerly operated the newspaper route.

When Philip was brought into the Community Hospital his newpaper sack accompanied him. Unable to identify the youngster immediately, Patrolman Drought called the bus station, from where the lad carried the papers, and found out that boy's name. The family was notified at once.

Father of Roy Philip Striffler is Rev. R.J. Striffler, Geneva Congregational Church pastor, one of Geneva's best known and most highly regarded ministers.

Philip was a faithful member of his Sunday School class at the Congregational Church and was keenly interested in the Cub Scout movement which was started in Geneva early this year. He was in the sixth grade at school. The lad was a music pupil of Miss Harriet Webster, East Main Street.

Roy Philip Striffler was born at Oberline, June 10, 1928. At the time the Striffler's residence was in North Fairfield, Ohio.

Besides his mother and father, the youngster is survived by a sister, Martha Anne; two brothers, David and Foster; and his paternal grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. W.D. Striffler, Cass City, Michigan.

May 11, 1888

The men have been working near the river these two weeks, when the weather was so they could plow. Today they were sowing oats. Pete Burg helped mother with the garden. I let the deer out one evening and he ran around the house in the orchard and garden and tracked the garden all up. We got him back in. The report around is that Adam Benkelman was coming home. We were so glad to think they were going to be here again, then we were disappointed to hear it was only Minnie Burg's talk. It seems odd to not see you, with a book under your arm or in the morning see you come from upstairs. Mother wants to know how far it is from church, are are there any girls in your neighborhood?

Your fat sister, "Baby Elephant Jumbo", Salome

June 6, 1888

I am staying at the Muck's for three weeks now. Anna Peterson is dead. She had a tumor and died under an operation. I heard that Adam Benkelman was expected home any day, but will not be sure until I hear that Minnie Burg did not make it up. The population of Cass City has increased since you left. Adam Muck has a girl, Del Landon a girl, Duncan Graham and Alex McKenzie both boys.

What are you doing there? Are you going to stay there. What do you eat anyhow? is Mrs. W. Weydemeyer working where you board? Berries and huckleberries are scarce this year.

How much are you getting. David said you should come home and cut his hair.

Deaths of the Week

Mrs. Salome Bien

The Evangelical church was crowded Sunday afternoon by relatives and friends who came to attend the funeral of Mrs. Salome Bien whose death occurred at her home in Lansing last Thursday. Rev. F. L. Pohly conducted the services and interment was made in Elkland cemetery.

Salome Striffler was born Sept. 19, 1866, on the parental farm near Cass City. She was united in marriage with Wm. Bien in Kilmanagh, Mich., Nov. 25, 1891. This happy union was of short duration, for Mr. Bien preceded his wife in death 26 years ago. Three sons came to bless the home for whom their mother toiled and sacrificed these many years to make possible their education and welfare and whose privilege it became, in these later days, for them to reciprocate their love and devotion in caring for her.

For the past few years, Mrs. Bien has suffered greatly from cancerous trouble but in it all manifested a most patient and hopeful spirit. All that medical skill and kind hands could do could not overpower her affliction. On Jan. 26, 1922, she peacefully passed away at Lansing, Mich., at the age of 55 years. Mrs. Bien gave her heart to God in her youth and united with the Cass City Evangelical church of which she remained a member.

She leaves to mourn her departure three devoted sons, Stanley of Lansing, Paul of Detroit, and William, a student at the U. of M. at Ann Arbor, an aged father, John Striffler of Cass City, two brothers, G.A. Striffler of Cass City and David Striffler of Columbus, Ga., three sisters, Mrs. Archie Mark, Miss Martha Striffler and Mrs. W.R. Kaiser, all of Cass City, besides a host of other relatives and friends.

Former Argyle Merchant Is Dead

Samuel W. Striffler, who had been in poor health for several years, passed away at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Angus McPhail, on Tuesday afternoon at the age of 70 years.

He was born in Lancaster, New York, on Dec. 4, 1857. In 1863, the family moved to Sturgis, Michigan, and in 1877 they came to Cass City, settling on a farm in the northeastern part of Elkland township.

On May 9, 1882, Mr. Striffler was united in marriage with Miss Pauline Ahr and they commenced their married life on Mr. Striffler's farm in Greenleaf township, three miles east and one mile north of Cass City. Here their children were born and they remained there until December, 1891, when, owing to Mrs. Stiffler's failing health, they moved to Argyle, Sanilac county, where Mr. Striffler engaged in the mercantile business. As a merchant for 28 years in Argyle, Mr. Striffler became widely acquainted, and because of his honorable dealings with his customers and his public spirit in advancing the interests of his town, he was held in high esteem in that community. He was a regular attendant of the Argyle M.E. church and a staunch supporter of that society.

In the spring of 1920, Mr. Striffler sold his mercantile business at Argyle and bought a home in Cass City. Mrs. Striffler passed away on Nov. 4, 1920, and a son, Edward H., preceded his parents in death in 1903. Since Mrs. Striffler's death, Mr. Striffler has made his home with his daughter, Mrs. Angus McPhail.

Funeral services will be held in the Evangelical church in Cass City this (Friday) afternoon at two o'clock, conducted by Rev. George Hill, assisted by Rev. C.F. Smith, and interment will be made in Elkland cemetery.

Mrs. Striffler is survived by five children, Mrs. John A. Sandham and Mrs. Angus McPhail, both of Cass City, Mrs. Wm. Moreton of Detroit, Fred Striffler of Caro and Dr. Harry C. Striffler of Pontiac; two brothers, Wm. D. Striffler and Solomon C. Striffler, both of Cass City, and three sisters, Mrs. Chas. E. Patterson and Mrs. Edward Helwig, both of Cass City, and Mrs. Andrew McDermott of Alhambra, California.

Elkland Twp. Loses Prominent Citizen
Solomon Striffler Came Here in 1859, Year after Township Was Organized

Elkland township lost a pioneer resident and an outstanding citizen in the death of Solomon Striffler, who passed away at his home on the corner of Leach and Third streets in Cass City on Friday morning, May 8. He had been ill for about a year.

The funeral services were held at the Evangelical church on Sunday afternoon and were conducted by Rev. G.A. Spitler, pastor of the church. Interment was made in Elkland Cemetery.

Solomon Striffler was born in Lancaster, N.Y., on April 5, 1859, and came to this community with his parents, Jacob and Louisa Striffler, at the age of six weeks.

Solomon Striffler and Miss Katherine Burke were married on Nov. 15, 1883, by Rev. B.F. Wade at the home of the bride's uncle, Fred Burke, in Elkland township. The following spring, Mr. Striffler erected a residence on his farm one mile north of the Elkland cemetery and here he and his wife lived and reared their children until 13 years ago when they moved to Cass City. Mr. and Mrs. Striffler celebrated their golden wedding on Nov. 15, 1933.

Mr. Striffler, with possibly one exception, had spent more years in Elkland township than anyone residing in the community. His advent in this place was in the year following the organization of the township of Elkland in 1858. Watrousville was the nearest point that boasted any mercantile establishments in those pioneer days when a lumber trail was the only road in Cass City. Settlers left here at noon and walked to Watrousville, carrying their merchandise purchases home the next day.

Ms. Stiffler was a member of the Evangelical church here and a man of high ideals. He was for many years, until ill health made it necessary for him to resign, the teacher of the adult class in Sunday School and he stood foremost among students as a Bible student. He served Elkland township as treasurer, justice and highway commissioner, and for 28 years was a school director.

Mr. Striffler leaves besides his widow, six children, Frank and Louis Striffler of Detroit, Mrs. Ira Reagh, Leonard Striffler, Mrs. Alma Schenck and Miss Gertrude Stiffler, all of Cass City, eight grandchildren, one brother, Samuel Stiffler, of Battle Creek, and one sister, Mrs. George Zinnecker, of Moore, Montana.

Those for out of town in attendance at the funeral Sunday afternoon included Mr. amd Mrs. Ira H. Blakely, Mr. and Mrs. L.C. Benson, Mr. and Mrs. I.M Clapper, Mr. and Mrs. Cyril Batten, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Striffler, Mr. and Mrs. William R. Kaiser and children, Kenneth John and Ruth, Mrs. Florence Spangler, Louis Striffler, Burke Arehart, and Miss Luella Striffler, all of Detroit; Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Striffler and daugther, Anna, Mr. and Mrs. Earl Buchanan and children, James and Nellie Marie, all of Battle Creek; Fred Striffler of Caro; and Mr. and Mrs. Otto Nique of Decker.
