From the Franklin Co. Death Registry 1913-1977 M-Z

James T. Strickland no DOB listed but was age 56 when died, b. Fr. Co., parents and places of birth unknown, of Louisburg died 3/28/30 Book 19 p. 217. Died of uremic poising (sic) and acute alcoholism. R. H.G. Perry of Louisburg. Undertaker was W.E. White of Louisburg.
Married to Etta Strickland. Was a farmer. Informant was Eugene T. Strickland of Louisburg Route 2.

From the dates of birth on both his marriage licenses, he was obviously not 56 when he died, but was 58, b. 1872.
