Richard Stranack failed flight school. Before he was returned to his basic training, he applied for and was granted a furlough to travel home to marry his fiance, Miss Ada Schwarz of 11304 S. Langley Avenue. He became ill on the way. Despite his illness, the couple married in the Greenstone Church in Pullman on Tuesday, October 1, 1918. The couple retired to her parents's house on Langley; he suffered through the reception but went to bed immediately after the last of the guests had left.
He died of influenza-caused pneumonia 4 days later. His funeral occurred at the same church the couple married in.
