Ottawa Journal - January 21, 1929 - John Armstrong
John Armstrong, an old and highly respected resident of Carp, Ont., died at the residence of his daughter, Mrs. Luther S. Wilson, of Carp, Sunday. Mr. Armstrong was well-known in the district in which he had been residing, as well as in March and Cumberland, where he had also lived. His death is deeply mourned by many friends.
Born in Huntley, 87 years ago, he resided in that township until shortly after his marriage to Miss Elizabeth Headley, of South March, when he moved to Cumberland. Following a residence of a few years there, he moved with his family to March, where he lived until he retired from active life about two years ago. Since that time he had made his home with his daughter. He had been a farmer all his life. In religion he was an Anglican, attending church in South March and, latterly, in Carp. His wife predeceased him about 30 years ago.
Surviving him are four sons, William, of Westboro; John, of Ottawa, and Nicholas and Albert, of Hazeldean; four daughters, Mrs. L.S. Wilson, of Carp; Mrs. Thomas Coxford, of Ottawa; Miss Ellen Armstrong, of Ottawa and Mrs. William Falls, of Huntley; two brothers, Christopher and Irwin, of Huntley; and four sisters, Mary, and Mrs. A. Armstrong, of Huntley; Mrs. William Reid, of Carp and Mrs. H. Wilson, of Ottawa. One son and two daughters predeceased him. Thirty-three grandchildren and 12(?) great-grandchildren also survive.
The funeral will be held from the home of his daughter, Mrs. L.S. Wilson, Tuesday afternoon at one o'clock. Rev. Canon R.B. Waterman, of Carp, will conduct the funeral services, and interment will be at South March.
John married Mary Elizabeth Hedley in 1867.
