J. T. ARMSTRONG DEAD
Veteran Methodist Minister Passes
Away Friday, February 9th.
After Long Illness.
Rev. J. T. Armstrong, veteran minister and one of the most beloved men who ever became a citizen of Marlow, passed over the River of Death last Friday afternoon at 2:30.
Rev. Armstrong had been in poor health for many years but his indomitable will-power and his love for the work of his Master kept him active until the third of November, where he was stricken while at Cyril and he was confined to his bed from that time until his death.
The funeral services were held at the First Methodist Church, of which he was a member, at 2:30 Saturday afternoon, being conducted by his pastor, Rev. N. U. Stout, assisted by Rev. I. W. Armstrong, of Chickasha, Presiding Elder for this district. The funeral was one of the most largely attended ever held in Marlow and the great bank of sweet and beautiful flowers was a tribute to the love of the people of Marlow for the deceased. Interment was at Marlow Cemetery.
J. T. Armstrong was born in McDonald County, Missouri, February 22, 1859. He became converted and united with the Methodist Church at the age of 12. He was married to Miss Sarah A. Dickson, at Woodbine, Cooke County, Texas, in 1881, and seven children were born to the union. Two of them, Claude Thomas and Clyde Daniel, died in infancy while the other five, all boys, survive to mourn, with their mother, the passing of their great and good father. They are; C. O. of San Jon, New Mexico, J. W. of Marlow, J. L. of Cyril, M. D. of Hollis, and D. M. of Marlow.
Mr. Armstrong became a minister of the Gospel at the age of thirty-one and there are thousands who testify to his power as a preacher, and his great work in organizing and pastoring small churches over a large area of Oklahoma Indian Territory. Seven thousand persons were converted under his ministry. A great part of his work as a minister was in the evangelical field and he conducted or assisted in revivals at many places.
Mr. Armstrong came to Oklahoma in 1889 and located at Oakland, the present site of the city of Madill. Since that time he has lived at many different places in old Indian Territory as his ministerial work called him into many new fields. He moved to Marlow about eight years ago and had lived here since that time.
The funeral services were very touching and many eyes among the congregation were wet with tears as Rev. Stout and Rev. I. W. Armstrong told of the life and ministry of the deceased. There were many present who had been converted in revivals held by Rev. Armstrong and many more were there who had received counsel and advice from him and they knew they were looking for the last time at the mortal face of one who had been a great comfort and help to them.
In the passing of Rev. J. T. Armstrong the Methodist Church lost an able and consecrated worker, his family lost a dutiful husband and father, and the city of Marlow lost one of its best loved citizens.
