Mrs. James D. Armstrong was considered worthy of special notice amongst those who contributed labour and money to build the white marble monument to the Confederate soldiers of Hampshire County who died in the Civil War. She was a Treasurer of the association created to oversee the project. The monument was dedicated on September 26th, 1867, having cost about $1,400. It was inscribed thus: "The Daughters of Old Hampshire Erect this Tribute of Affection to Her Heroic Sons Who Fell in Defense of Southern Rights", and among the names of those fallen carved on this monument are Sergeant B. W. Armstrong, and I. P. Armstrong.
Anne's home was famous, not only for its hospitality, but for the intellectual enjoyments found there.
In her latter years she had living with her, as a companion, her half-sister Mary Arabella Foote.
