She is with her daughter, Mrs. Stone, and her son Henry went there yesterday noon and the rest will go at noon today. She is one of the oldest settlers in Story county ans as such is well known to our prople. From Story County Watchman February 28, 1902 OBITUARY. Died at the home in Tama, of her grand-daughter, Mrs. John Jackson, Saturday, February 22, 1902, Mrs. Charlotte E. Armstrong, of Nevada, aged 77 years, 5 months and 26 days. The immediate cause of death was an attack of pneumonia beginning on the previous Tuesday, but beyond this was the weight of years and the infirmity of age, which rendeered her vulnerable to an attack, which in her time of vigorous health would have readily thrown off. Her condition was early recognized to be critical to the point of hopelessness, and her friends were warned of the inevitable. Her two daughters were already with her when she was taken ill, and her three sons were also down to see her in her last illness. In the end her death peaceful and painless. Charlotte Emeline Moore was born at Milan, Ohio, August 27, 1824; was married at Franklin, Johnson county, Indiana, June 7, 1842 to Ellis Armstrong; came with him to Iowa in 1854, arriving in March of that year at Nevada, where she ever after had her home. They were among the first settlers here, only a few families having preceded them; and cheerfully they bore the hardships of the pioneer days, reared their family and enjoyed the delights of a good old age. Mr. Armstrong died here January 22, 1897, aged nearly 83 years, and since then Mrs. Armstrong had made her home with her daughter, Mrs. John T. Stone, who had since the death of her own husband about three years ago devoted herself almost wholly to her mother. Last fall they went to Tama to spend the winter with their daughter and grand-daughter, and there, as already noted, the final summons came. The body was brought by the sorrowing friends to Nevada Sunday evening, and the funeral was conducted Monday forenoon from the residence of Mrs. Stone by Rev. McMasters, Baptist preacher at Tama, for whom she had acquired a great liking during the winter. The funeral discourse was fitting and eloquent, and the attendance was large and a sincere tribute to the departed matron. The interment was beside her husband in the Nevada cemetery. There were present all of Mrs. Armstrong's children, Mrs. Mary Stone, Wm. E., Simon E., Henry A. and Mrs. Carrie Waters and their respective families with only a single exception. Of these the only non-residents were Dr. and Mrs. H. M. Waters of New York and Mr. and Mrs. John Johnson of Tama. There was also present her only surviving brother, W. W. Moore, and his wife of Des Moines. Mrs. Armstrong was a woman who bore well her part in this world, lived staunchly in the Baptist faith from the young womanhood, was in her declining years honored by her children and her children's children, and passed to her reward at a ripe old age. --Representative In the same paper: Personal and Social --On Friday last Wm. Armstrong, foreman of this office, went to Tama called by the illness of his mother and remained until the end. The remains were brought to Nevada and full account of the occurance will be found elsewhere.
