MRS. FLOYD E. ARMSTRONG
ANSWERS FINAL SUMMONS
Armstrong-Funeral services of the late Mrs. Floyd E. Armstrong were held at the home of her parents in Grout township, Tuesday morning, at 10:30 a.m., conducted by Rev. J. H. Nimmo of Detroit, her former pastor at Gladwin. A large concourse of friends followed the body to the place of interment in Highland cemetery. A quartette composed of Mrs. A. O. Boulton, Miss Fern Walton, W. H. Dawe and C. J. Barnum, with Miss Grace B. Brooks at the organ, furnished music. The pallbearers were Guy E. Smith, Isaac Foster, Jonathan Brown, W. H. Dawe, E. A. Coan and Thomas Moore.
The following memorian was read at the funeral services:
Maud Parker was born August 18, 1880, at Grant Center, St. Clair county, Michigan, and died at Arlington, Massachusetts, on June 13, 1918.
Her parents, Esau and Elizabeth Park, removed with her to Grout township, Gladwin county, the following December, and located on this farm, and here she grew and blossomed into womanhood, her school days being spent in this little white school house of this district and the Gladwin high school. For some years she was a successful teacher in the public schools of the county, and for a time in the Gladwin city schools.
Surviving her are her husband, Floyd E. Armstrong, to whom she was married in this house August 25, 1903, their daughter, Lois, aged 13 years, their son, DeVere, aged 11 years, both of her parents, and three brothers, David Parker, and Edgar Parker, of Grout, and Wilford E. Parker, of Flushing.
Upon their marriage Professor and Mrs. Armstrong took up their residence in the city of Gladwin, and Professor Armstrong engaged in educational work for several years, acting as school commissioner for Gladwin county. Later on, she, with her husband, removed to Ann Arbor, that broader fields of service might be opened to them. Two years ago she became a resident of Arlington, Mass. her husband having been called to a professorship in the Boston School of Technology.
Mrs. Armstrong was a woman of great ability. Her fine perception of humor eased the way over the dasrk places. She was a loyal wife, an inspiration to her husband in his efforts to make the most of life, and ambitious for his success, a true and loving mother, whose memory must be to her children a glorious inheritance.
Although in the endeavor to find the field which offered the greatest opportunity, the trail has led to distant localities. Mrs. Armstrong regarded Gladwin as her home, and it was the dream of herself and her husband that here among the friends of her childhood and the cherished companions of her mature years, the evening of life might be passed, after having realized something of their ambitions. Tender hands will lay her today in her last resting place.
A good woman has gone from us. She slipped peacefully into the great beyond. The world will be better because she has lived. Gladwin County Record dated 6-20/1918
