Josephine 'Josie' Strickland
1860 - 1882
Josephine 'Josie' Strickland was born about 1860 in Newton, Dale County, Alabama and died about 1882 in Dale County, Alabama. Dates for birth and death are estimated. She lived to be about 22 years old.

She was called "Josie".
Josephine married William Jasper Howard around 1877, they had one son, Henry Thomas Howard. (Josephine named Henry after her brother)

In the 1880 census she states her father was born in Alabama and her mother was born in Georgia.
Past down in the family is the Knight name, that appears as her name on her son, Henry's death certificate, But 1942 her son, stated her name is Josephine Strickland on his SSN application.
We are unsure of the date of her death or were she is buried.
