Anna Maria McCarty was born in County Wexford, Ireland in 1842 and when but a child, six years of age, immigrated to this country with her parents who settled near Galena. There she grew to womanhood and in 1859 was united in marriage to William Armstrong, who was at that time engaged in mining.
A short time later, Mr. and Mrs. Armstrong came to the town of Willow Springs and settled on the place that has been home for Mrs. Armstrong for more than half a century. During that long period, Mrs. Armstrong gave her best efforts for her family and has always been regarded as an excellent business woman as well as a faithful mother. She has been so long associated with the business men, especially the older ones of our city, that her death to them marks the passing of an old friend whose good sense and honorable methods had stood the test of time.
Mrs. Armstrong was at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Otto Johnson at the time of her death and had been sick not more than a week. Her body was taken to the old homestead and later brought to Darlington where burial was made from the Catholic church.
Following are the members of her surviving family: Mrs. John O'Neill, Mrs. Otto Johnson, Will, Charles, Mrs. R.S. McDermott, George, Mrs. Frank Rielly, Thomas, Mrs. Hugh Howe, who live in this vicinity, and Mrs. Frank Fox, Beloit, also her adopted son Gene.
