Death came to Thos. Armstrong, a prominently known farmer of Lafayette county for many years, and at one time in the stock business in Darlington, at an early hour Friday at the home of an old friend, Mr. Henry Wyss, living at the extreme border of the southwest part of the city.
It was nearly four o'clock in the morning when Mr. Wyss and family were aroused by loud cries of pain from their guest and Mr. Wyss went to his room to find him in severe pain from cramps in the stomach. For a short period the pains left him and he felt relieved only to have them return seemingly worse than ever and with such severity that he thrashed about on the bed and was unable to restrain loud cries caused by intense suffering. The second attack prompted the calling of Dr. Lloyd Helmes, who hastened to the home to find Mr. Armstrong had died a few minutes before he arrived. From the time when his first cries to the time of his death was less than an hour. He passed away at 4:45.
The cause of death was undoubtedly due to some stomach trouble causing cramps, the nature of which is not known. Relatives arrived from Darlington on the afternoon train to take charge of the remains and take the body home on the evening train.
Mr. Armstrong had been in Milwaukee on business and stopped off here from the noon train on his way home to look into a matter of personal business. He visited for a short period during the afternoon with Attorney McGrath in his office about three o'clock, and at that time intended to go home on the evening train. He evidently encountered Mr. Wyss later and decided to remain for the night and when he retired at about midnight, was in apparently his usual good and robust health. Mr. Wyss and Mr. Armstrong were old friends, formerly living as neighbors in Lafayette county, six to eight miles out of the city of Darlington.
Mr. Armstrong was about fifty years of age, and a man of large, strong and robust physique, weighing probably 220 pounds. He had lived in Lafayette county since a boy. Some ten or fifteen years ago he made his home in Darlington while engaged in stock buying and selling and counted many friends in a large list of acquaintances throughout the county.
Mr. Armstrong married for the second time last January. There are seven children of a former marriage surviving.
The funeral was held on Monday morning from the Holy Rosary Catholic church, and the interment was in the Holy Rosary Cemetery.
