Daughter of John K Richardson and Eunice Curtis.∼True Republican, 10 April 1918
Many old-time friends were saddened by the death of Mrs. S. T. Armstrong, good wife, mother and friend, for some 40 years a respected resident of Sycamore and wife of a former well known county official for many years, who passed from this life at the home of her daughter Mrs. William A. Eakins, 229 East 42nd Street, Chicago, on Friday, after a long period of poor health. She would have been 82 years of age next month.
Eunice E. Richardson a daughter of John K. and Eunice Thompson (Curtis) Richardson was born in Cattaraugus county, N. Y. She came with her parents to Rock county, Wis., during the early, settlement of that state. There she grew to womanhood and there she was married to Shubael T. Armstrong, a native of Chautauqua county, N. Y. Soon after their marriage Mr. and Mrs. Armstrong removed to Milwaukee, where Mr. Armstrong engaged in railroading and civil engineering for the North-Western and St. Paul railroads. In 1861 he went to California and was employed as a mining engineer. He returned in 1864 and Mr. and Mrs. Armstrong made their home in Rock county until 1868, when they became residents of Milan township, this county. In 1872 they removed to Sycamore. He was county surveyor and three times circuit clerk and held other offices. He died in April, 1911. Shortly after his death, Mrs. Armstrong removed to Chicago, where her daughters resided.
To Mr. and Mrs. Armstrong were born seven children. There are surviving: Elizabeth, who was married to Dr. H. H. Everett of Kenilworth, Ill.; Charlotta, who was married to Park Richmond of Oak Park, Ill.; Nevada, who was married to William A. Eakins of Chicago, and Miss Marjorie Armstrong, an adopted daughter, who made her home with her mother. Two other daughters survived to maturity and died after lives of usefulness: Hattie G., married Albert A. Bishop of Sibley, la., and died in 1908; Loretta May, an artist of ability, widely known for her ceramic work, died four years ago.
Services were held at the Royston Chapel in Chicago, Rev. F. W. Millar of Chicago, former pastor of the Sycamore Universalist church, of which Mrs. Armstrong had been affiliated, officiating. The remains were cremated, as were those of her husband, and were brought to Sycamore this Tuesday afternoon and interred beside the remains of her husband In the family lot in Elmwood cemetery.
