PAUL ARMSTRONG
"How long we live, not years, but actions tell,
That man lives twice, who lives the first life well."
The death of Paul Armstrong took place at Kanawa, Indian Territory, June 26, 1907, came as a surprise to his many friends in this and Itawamba County.
He was reared in Lee County, but had emigrated to the Indian Territory one and a half years since. He leaves a wife and three children who have our heartfelt sympathy.
It was my pleasure to know this subject the greater part of his life, and I have not met a more loving husband, a devoted father, an obedient and affectionate son, and as a teacher, I was always glad to claim him as one of my students, as I never had one under my care more respectful and attentive, nor do I expect to find a truer friend.
He possessed many good qualities that we admire in man, honorable, conscientious, and charitable, which won for him many friends, fate had bestowed no favors on him, what he had accumulated, and left for his friends was his trust in God and a resignation to his will.
How strange is life!
We know not when
The hand of death may sever
The ties of love we fain would have
Bind us on earth forever.
