Notes:

From Forerunners: A History or Genealogy of the Strickler Families Their Kith and Kin, by Harry M. Strickler (Harrisonburg, Virginia: 1925), p. 223 - 224:

...entered the University of Virginia in September, 1835, the date of his martriculation being Sep. 1, 1835, medical department. He took up three subjects, "Anatomy and Surgery," "Chemistry and Materia Medica," and "Medicine." Death brought this promising life to a close on Feb. 2, 1836, on the eve of his graduation. I think the course then was one year. From all that I can learn he was a brilliant youth and his untimely death must have been a shock to his friends and relatives... His fellow students erected a memorial at his grave in the University cemetery.
