A. W. Armantrout Succumbs

Allen W. (Dad) Armantrout, 91, a resident of Centralia since 1909, and for years a familiar downtown figure, succumbed early Wednesday in a local hospital.

Mr. Armantrout, born July 25, 1864, in Indiana, hauled mail from the city's old depot to the post-office by team and wagon shortly after he came to Centralia.

The family home is at 207 West Pear street.
