Joseph Strickler, II of Egypt ...Joseph Strickler, II, lived on the old homestead in upper Egypt. He was President of Page County Court, Assessor (or High Sherriff). and, tradition says, an officer in the war of 1812. It seems he was called Captain but for what service I do not know. His military record has not been verified. He was a man of prominence in his day. Mr. Miley, in his notes, has this to say in speaking of him: "He was an assessor for many years. I recall a medium sized man, slender of figure, quiet and gentlemanly in manner and seemingly past the meridian of life." Among other beautiful things he say this about his wife, Mary Miley; "She had deep blue eyes, dark hair, a graceful figure and a well modulated voice. She was generous to a fault." Mr. Miley says that William Strickler left a landed estate to his brothers and sisters near Seattle, Washington. (Miley Notes) Rebecca Strickler married Julius Rider and had at least one son, William, who died in early manhood, and probably a daughter. They lived in Washington. William was probably married. Rebecca may have had a son Evert, also.
