A. M. Armstrong, a prominent citizen of Morning Sun expired very suddenly on the train between this place and Washington Tuesday evening. He was on his way home from Oklahoma where he had been looking after business interests and seemed in his usual health. When near Brighton he complained to a fellow passenger that he did not feel well although he made no especial complaint. Soon after leaving Washington his fellow passengers noticed that he was a very sick man and a physician or two who happened on the train were called to his help, but nothing could be done to relieve him and in a very few moments he was dead. The remains were placed in charge of Undertaker Malin at this place until friends from his home arrived and the body was prepared for shipment and taken to Morning Sun on the early train Wednesday morning.

Mr. Armstrong was about fifty-three years of age. Has been for many years a resident of Morning Sun; at one time was in the mercantile business there. Since then he has been engaged in the real estate business and left valuable property. His family consisted of a wife and one daughter, Fern, a little over thirteen years. He was a member of the Reformed Presbyterian or Covenanter church. The funeral occurred today.
