The Annual Monitor of 1859 included a notice of the death of Michael Stratton and then stated:
"He was attached to the doctrines and testimonies of our Society, and was diligent in the attendance of meetings while able; but for more than two years was prevented by infirmity of body. On one occasion, when alluding to this privation, he said, "None know the favored seasons I have, while the family are at meeting; and though almost deprived of sight and hearing, I have enough left to be thankful for." During his last illness he manifested exemplary patience and humility."
