Feb. 29, 1844, and died at his home in Alfred, June 6, 1912. He was the oldest of ten children born to Thomas J. and Elizabeth Keller Armstrong. When a young lad his parents moved to Clarksville, this county, and in this vicinity he grew up. November 14, 1861, at the age of only seventeen, he enlisted for a term of three years in Company C, 86th New York Volunteers. When these three years of privation and Jeopardy were ended, his country still being in the throes of civil war, he re-enlisted and was "honorably discharged after the close of the war, having given nearly four years of his young manhood in defense of the flag. Few men were in more battles then he and suffered longer In rebel prisons than he. He was in the siege of Yorktown, and the battles of Williamsburg, Seven Pines, Fair Oaks, Carter's Hill, Franklin, Goldsborough, and others.
He was on duty at Plymouth from May, 12S2, to March 20, 1864, when he
was taken prisoner and sent to Andersonville and later transferred to
Florence. April 20. 1865, he was paroled, having survived the ravages of eleven months In Andersonville and Florence. On November 29, 1866. he was married to Miss Elnora M. Crandall and commenced married life in West Genesee. Fifteen years later they moved to Portville, and in 1889 came to Alfred, where they built a home
and spent the remainder of their days.
To them was born one son, Reuben J of Alfred. Mrs. Armstrong died eighteen months ago, since which time Mr. Armstrong has gradually declined. In Alfred Mr. Armstrong was engaged In the mercantile business ten years—1696 to 1906, and was village president two years.
