7a.  Obit.  The Shelby Democrat, Thursday, 15 Apr 1897, p. 3 (online at the Shelby County INGenWeb site; contributed by Barb Huff):
Peter Stroup died at the residence of his son, James Stroup, in West Hendricks township, at four p.m. Thursday, April 8, 1897, of dropsy, aged seventy-one years.  The remains were buried Saturday April 10.  Services at the Second Mount Pleasant church at 10:30 a.m.  Interment in the Mount Pleasant cemetery, D. B. Wilson & Son funeral directors.
Given that Peter is living with his son, rather than his wife, it's reasonably safe to assume that Mary predeceased him.
