In riemoriam.
s Jimmie Armstrong is dead, and
the place that once knew him will
now know him no more forever. In
stature he was small,but in character
he stood abreast in the front rank
with the greatest in size. As a friend
he was true to every principle of
man. As a husband and parent,
faithful to his obligations. By his
genial and kind deportment as a gentleman
and citizen he built a monument
to his own memory?built upon
the foundation laid by the tender
hands of a mother, a monument not
of stone, granite or marble, but a
monument built upon all the virtues
constituting the Christian gentleman,
and one that will reflect credit
upon the name from which his fam
ily may take comfort and consolation
and feel proud of the name they
bear. The author of this feeble little
tribute was a great admirer of Jimmie
for the reason, if no other, that
he was always most respectful to the
age, and never departed from the
early impressions formed by the
teachings of an affectionate and loving
mother. Friend.
