"ARMSTRONG-at his residence on High Street in this city, on Thursday morning, March 24, 1881 of paralysis, William F. Armstrong, aged 61 years, 5 months and 7 days. The deceased was born near Rochester, N.Y. Oct. 17, 1819 and while very young was brought by his parents to this State, where he has resided nearly ever since. He had been an invalid for some years, but thought he was getting better gradually, having no intimation of the near approach of death, till it laid its icy hand upon him. He was a quiet unobtrusive and worthy citizen. The body of the deceased was taken to Cardington, O., where it was interred in Bethel Cemetery, on Saturday the 26th inst., under the direction of the I.O.O.F. of which Order he had long been a member. Sermon by Rev. Canfield, of Mt. Gilead." (obituary which appeared in a Piqua newspaper shortly after William died)
