STRYKER HISTORY … Sue Buehrer points to a picture of the Medal of Honor earned by Stryker resident, William J. Knight, during the Civil War. The actual medal is in the possession of Knight’s descendants. They had once brought the medal to Stryker. Sue related to the students that it was a very moving experience for her to have touched the medal that had been pinned onto William J. Knight by President Abraham Lincoln.
On May 14, the two classes of Stryker fourth graders visited the train depot where the Stryker Area Heritage Council maintains a museum of Stryker artifacts. Trustees, Sue Buehrer and Terry Wieland, gave a presentation on local history followed by a depot tour. The students learned many historical facts about their village.
