Edna (Fuller) Kay Strickland

1886 - 1922

Norwich [Chenango Co., NY]:  Mrs. Edna Fuller Kay took her departure from Norwich, Wednesday when a large number of her friends and acquaintances gathered at the Lackawanna station and gave her a hearty send off.

 

During the larger part of her father's two years' pastorate of the Broad Street M.E. Church Mrs. Kay has had charge of the choir and under her skilled guidance the organization has reached its highest efficiency.  The Easter music was a meritorious culmination of her work, the most brilliant choral feature of the evening song service being the rendering of the Lost Chord. As a soloist Mrs. Kay has a clear, strong and sweet soprano voice which has been heard with pleasure frequently during her residence here.  At the morning services, Sunday, she sang as an offertory solo Ashford's "Awake! Awake!" most effectively.

 

During the winter Mrs. Kay has directed the chorus of the Monday Evening Musical Club and a recital, Tuesday evening, at the First Baptist Church gave splendid evidence of her ability in the rendition of Bendall's "Lady of Shalott," the poem being read by Mrs. Leslie and sung by the club. The program was delightful and a fitting finale to the excellent work Mrs. Kay has accomplished during her too brief residence in Norwich.
