James's middle initial is indecipherable. It looks most like a "G," but with a stretch it could be an "S."

9. Archive of the STROUP-L Mailing List (online at RootsWeb.com), in a message posted by Rose Mary Stroup Lankford:

While going through my dad's baby book, I discovered that James Sidney Stroup (his grandfather and my great-grandfather) died November 28, 1915 at the age of 71. I still do not know where he died but believe it to be in Indiana somewhere. His wife, Mary Elizabeth Elliott Stroup died June 1907.
