| 22303 | I12721 | Striffler | Jacob Anton | 20 Oct 1779 | 3 Mar 1850 | 0 | 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 In the chapter on the Striffler family in her unpublished 1981 manuscript, BonnieMargaret Jacobs noted that widely spread family stories stated that the Striffler family originated in Switzerland (p. 164).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 On page 165 of her unpublished 1981 manuscript documenting the Benkelman family, she repeated this saying, adding however that "one Striffler heard the riddle with 11 brothers and it should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. |

| 22304 | I24246 | Striffler | Jacob H. | 6 Jan 1851 | 31 May 1925 | 0 | At the time of the 1880 census, it appear that he and his wife, Sophia, were living with his widowed father and younger siblings. Cass City Chronicle July 1, 1904 Local Items Page 4 J. H. Striffler has built a stone foundation on his property on east Main Street, onto which he intends to move the barn which stands on the place. Workmen are busy this week getting the barn ready to be moved. Cass City Chronicle Friday, July 21, 1911 Local Happenings Page 4 Mrs. A. A. Ricker of Detroit arrived Monday to spend a few days with her parents, Mr.and Mrs. J. H. Striffler. On Wednesday, she returned to Detroit accompanied by her sister, Miss Margaret Striffler. Later in the week the two ladies and Mr. Ricker will leave that city for Buffalo, where they will spend a month with friends and relatives. Cass City Chronicle Friday, July 31, 1914 Mrs. Henry Frantzman of Townline, N.Y. and Mrs. William Bockstedt and Earl Bockstedt of Buffalo, N.Y., who have been visiting at the home of J.H. Striffler, returned home Wednesday. Cass City Chronicle Friday, June 5, 1925 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. Striffler, both of Cass City, Mrs. Fred SMILEY of Evart, and Mrs. Laura LAWTHER of Flint; one granddaughter, Eleanor NIQUE; one brother, Chas. D. Striffler, and one sister, Mrs. Peter BURG, both of Cass City. Relatives and friends from a distance in attendance at the funeral included Mr. and Mrs. Samuel HELWIG of Lancaster, N.Y., Mrs. Elizabeth BOCKSTEDT of Buffalo, N.Y., Mr. and Mrs. Frank SIMMET and Harley SIMMET of Middleton, Mich., Miss Bertha SIMMET of Ithaca, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. MANN, Mrs. Elizabeth MANN and daughter, Lucile, Mr. and Mrs. Fred BROWN and Mrs. O. DENT, all of Carson City, Mrs. Caroline HELWIG, Marion HELWIG, Mr. and Mrs. Russell ERB and Chester LOESCHE, all of Bad Axe. (Transcribed by Melinda McLemore Strong, Winter 2007) |

| 22308 | I11992 | Striffler | John "Uncle John" | 15 Mar 1833 | 12 Jul 1922 | 0 | Art Peck writes that they were among the first families in Tuscola County, Michigan, moving there about 1860 on land purchased for $2 an acre, land they had never seen. They cleared the land to establish a farm, a mile east and a mile north of Cass City. John was Elkland County, Michigan treasurer from 1868 to 1870, and again from 1885 through 1887. Cass City Chronicle Cass City, Mich., Friday, July 14, 1922 Vol. 18, No. 9 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.

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.

He, along with Henry and Jacob, are listed in 1840, 1850 and 1855 Census records as living in Buffalo, NY. Brother David stayed in New York, making his home in Lancaster. The rest of the family ended up in Cass City, Michigan, except for Peter, who moved to Kansas. Dates conflict between family records and published obituary on when he moved to Kansas. Family accounts put them moving to Kansas no earlier that 1867 after the birth of their last child. If newspaper is correct (1859), the last 3 or 4 children would have been born in Kansas." 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. RootsWeb's WorldConnect Project: Havensville, Pottawatomie co, Ks.

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.

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. July 31, 1888 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. The Enterprise says "Two women to eveyr raspberry." Lucy Meier was here begging for the new church in Fremont. Did you hear from Will Bien yet, since you are up there? He gets $28 a month. How much are you getting. David said you should come home and cut his hair. October 10, 1888 folks making syrup again. Mother and Mattie are helping in the sugar house and I am doing the housework. Charlie Yous is working for us again this fall. Johnnie Zinnecker hired out to Pa for a month, he may stay and go to school this winter. Dora Schenck has engaged to teach the Walmsley school. Walter Gamble and Lissie Ale are teaching the CC school. Mrs. John Doying died last Monday. Ada's funeral was yesterday.

Mattie and I sent for the Normal course books. Mrs. Wunderlich organized the class. We younger folks have clubbed together and bought a book for the minister, "the Beautiful story and Gold gems of religious thoughts." Got is from James Waldon, the fellow who's feet got frozen. He is a book agency, walks with crutches. November 29, 1888 Today is Sam and Mary's wedding day. Rev. N. Wienderlich performs the ceremony. I was not invited. Did you know Mr. Champion died last week. Archie has no hired man at present. Elmer Eastman was working for him but he is gone.

Cass City Chronicle August 15, 1919 The Week's Doing, Page Eight Mrs. Salome Bien left Monday for a short visit at the home of her son, Stanley Bien, at Lansing. Cass City Chronicle February 3, 1922 Page One 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. (Transcribed by Melinda McLemore Strong, March 2008) |

Striffler of Caro, age 71, passed away following a courageous battle with cancer on Sunday, August 27, 2023 at home, surrounded by the love of his family. Tom was born June 3, 1952 in Flint, the son of the late Delvin & Martha (Kane) Striffler. He was raised in a loving yet disciplined home in Caro and fondly remembered Sunday dinners with his grandparents and time spent helping his father at his car dealership. He graduated from Caro High School with the class of 1970 and later earned an engineering degree from General Motors Institute in Flint. While at GMI, he served in a co-op position with Saginaw Steering Gear, later called Delphi, in what would become a thirty-three year career with the company, retiring in 2003. He was united in marriage with Carol J. Paul on August 23, 1975 in Bay City and the couple has cherished forty-eight loving years together. Tom was a devoted Christian and practiced his faith by helping others. He followed a moral compass provided by the Lord's teachings and believed in doing what is right, even if it isn't popular. He was raised in the Evangelical United Brethren Church in Caro and remained with the congregation when it merged to become the Caro United Methodist Church. He held countless positions within the church and was willing to do anything as long as it didn't involve preaching or singing. He served as a witness to the Lord's love throughout his life, even in his final days. Tom was a steadfast advocate and dedicated servant to the City of Caro. He cultivated a love for the community in others and exuded optimism about the potential of a small town if people simply came together with common purpose. He was instrumental in the development of the Chippewa Landing Park and the iconic bridge that spans the Cass River. Tom was Caro's first mayor following its transition to cityhood and was selected as the 2008 Caro Chamber of Commerce Citizen of the Year. He was also honored as a Distinguished Alumnus of Caro Schools, served as a board member of the Tuscola County Community Foundation, the Neal Sisters Foundation, and spent many years as a Big Brother with Big Brothers Big Sisters in Caro. He was most proud of the family he and Carol created and was a constant support to his two children. He enjoyed coaching Little League when the kids were younger, and later softball with Caro High School. In retirement, he enjoyed the simple pleasures of watching his grandchildren and tending to his garden. Tom loved the peace of Lake Huron at his childhood cottage in Broken Rocks of Port Austin. It remained a sanctuary for him, reflecting the beauty of God's earth, and will continue to bless the family through future generations. Left to cherish Tom's memory are his wife, Carol; two children and their spouses, Christian & Sarah Striffler of Augusta, Bethany & Matt Kirk of Fairgrove; three grandchildren, Mia, Nolan, and Wesley; one sister and her husband, Sharon & Patrick Oriel of Glen Arbor; stepsister, Joann Tomlinson of Caro; many nieces, nephews, friends, and his beloved cocker spaniel, Buster. In addition to his parents, Tom was preceded in death by his stepfather, Reid Thurston. In keeping with Tom's wishes, cremation has taken place. A celebration of his life will take place at 11:00 a.m. on Friday, September 1, 2023 at the Caro United Methodist Church with Pastor Robert Demyanovich officiating. The family will be present to receive friends at the Ransford Collon Funeral Home in Caro on Thursday from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. and at the church on Friday from 10:00 a.m. until the time of the service at 11:00 a.m. Those planning an expression of sympathy are asked to consider memorial contributions to the Caro United Methodist Church, Tuscola County Community Foundation, or the Good Samaritan Fund. https://www.ransfordcollon.com/obituaries/Thomas-K-Striffler?obId=28827125 |
