     Page 17: "The last of these three families to come west was the Henry and Mary Price Strickler family, who arrived in Carroll County in 1841. Of course Mary would want to live near her sisters so the Stricklers bought a farm adjoining the Arnold farm, the residents being not far apart. With the Emmerts living in Mt. Carroll, only four miles distant, these three families closely knit by blood and spiritual ties became the nucleus for the first Church of the Brethren in the northern part of Illinois. We may consider Daniel Arnold a lay leader of deep-seated religious character. In his home and in the schoolhouse he was the church leader before there was a minister among them. Henry Strickler was a minister when he came to Illinois, the first Brethren minister for our present state district. His arrival begat new life and injected a more active church atmosphere throughout the settlement.
     Henry Strickler had been called to the ministry in the historic Price meetinghouse near Waynesboro, Pennsylvania, on Oct 23, 1825. His sixteen years of active service in the ministry had prepared him for effective leadership in his new environment. . . ."

Strickler, married Mary Price, granddaughter of John Price of Indian descent. Henry was chosen minister in 1825 at Price's meetinghouse. They came to Arnold's Grove, Ill., in 1841. He was the first Brethren minister to locate permanently in Carroll County...... He lived a good life but was not a strong preacher. His son, Henry P., was called to the ministry in 1859 and moved to Grundy Center, Iowa, in 1867. His father (blind) and mother followed and lived with the son.
