WEST MIFFLIN, Pa. James V. Armour of West Mifflin, 82, a Moscow native, died here Jan. 31 of causes related to age.
He was born Jan. 4, 1914, to W.K. and Winifred Armour at Moscow. He attended local schools and the University of Idaho.
During World War II he served in the U.S. Army Air Forces and played trumpet in the U.S. Army band. After the war he toured with big-name dance bands as a popular trumpet soloist.
He moved to West Mifflin, near Pittsburgh, in 1948 and married Margaret Maszle in August 1949 there.
He worked as a train dispatcher for B&O Railroad at Pittsburgh and retired in 1984 to concentrate on his lifelong interests in gardening, music and poetry.
He was a cousin of Moscow author Carol Ryrie Brink, who wrote the novel, "Stop Over," drawing on his mother's life. A film version starred Barbara Stanwyck.
Survivors include his wife, Margaret Armour of West Mifflin; and one sister, Jean Gilbert Armour of Teaneck, N.J.
