Read More	Obituary (Clinton Paper): Mr. Robert Armstrong Clinton lost one of her most valued citizens this week, in the death of Mr. Robert Armstrong, on July 24th, at the comparatively early age of 60 years and 7 months. Since moving to Clinton three and a half years ago, Mr. Armstrong so identified himself with the interests of the town, took so kindly an interest in neighbors and citizens in general that his friendly manner and cordial greeting, will be missed sadly by a large circle of friends who deeply sympathize with his family in the loss of a devoted husband and father. He leaves beside his widow, who so devotedly attended him during his illness, one son at the home farm, and two daughters at home in town. Mr. Armstrong was the youngest of eight sons of the late Rainey Armstrong, of the Goshen Line, Stanley Township. Of these eight sons, but two are now living. One of them, John A. died in Clinton about four years ago. Mr. Armstrong has been ill since last November and was quite aware of the serious nature of his malady, but throughout the long weeks and months of failing strength, he was an inspiration to all who were able to do him any service. He thought always of others first. The funeral on July 26 was attended by great numbers of friends from Exeter, Seaforth, Hensall, Zurich and at Bayfield, where interment was made, there was a large assemblage of waiting friends, who had gone there direct from the neighborhood of his old home in Stanley. The services were conducted by Rev. Mr. Anderson, of Ontario Street Methodist Church, assisted by Rev. Mr. Snowden, of Clinton, and Rev. Mr. Foster, of Varna, Misses Treleaven and Gibbings and Mr. Fred Thompson, members of Ontario street choir, contributed some beautiful music to the service at the home. The pallbearers were Messrs. J. Ford, D Cantelon, J Steep, C Hale, W Mair, and A Welsh. Many beautiful flowers were placed around the casket as tributes from friends who wished to express their regard and sense of loss. Friends from a distance who were in attendance were: Mrs. Lloyd Armstrong, from Flint, Mich.; Mrs. Butterfield, Bay City, Mich.: Mr. W. H. and Mr. Austin Stephenson from Marlette, Mich.: Mrs. Tucker, London: Mr. And Mrs. Haines and Family, St Marys: Mr. and Mrs. John Metcalf and Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Metcalf, from Wingham.
