The Howard Courant-Citizen, Howard, Elk County, Kansas, January 16, 1947. C. F. ARMSTRONG DEAD Charles Fredrick Armstrong, for many years a resident of the north part of Elk county, passed away at the home of his son, Richard Armstrong, in Sedan Saturday evening, January 11th, at 9:20, following a stroke which he suffered Wednesday evening while at his son's garage in that city. Funeral services were held from the Moon Chapel in Howard at 2:30 p.m., Wednesday, January 15th, conducted by Rev. Frank Ryerson of Sedan. The pall bearers were Bob Marrs, Willis Miller, John Garison, Jr., Bill Allen, Willard Morss, Andrew Sculley. The music was furnished by a quartet composed of Mrs. Willard Morss, Mrs. John Garison, Sr., Bob Marrs and Wilbur Wright, with Mrs. Willis Miller as accompanist. Burial was in Grace Lawn cemetery. Charles Fredrick Armstrong was born June 28, 1879, and lived most of his life in this community. For some time he and Mrs. Armstrong had been living at Severy, but recently went to Sedan to make their home with their son, Richard, while Dick's wife, Mrs. Pauline Allen Armstrong, was completing her term of school as a teacher in the Moline grade schools. Besides his wife and son, Dick, he is survived by eight other children: Mrs. Earl Whitecotton of Denver, Colorado; Mrs. Earl Kimball, Delta Colorado; Mrs. Eva Smith, Wichita; Mrs. Eleanor VanZandt, Kellogg, Idaho; Charles Armstrong, Steamboat Spring, Colorado; Loyd Armstrong, Howard; Albert Armstrong, Dexter and Bob Armstrong of Wichita. All of the children but Charles, who suffered an eye injury a few days before, were with their mother for the funeral services. Mr. Armstrong is also survived by 12 grandchildren, two sisters, Mrs. Ruth Dunlap of Lincoln, Arkansas, and Mrs. Lily Davis of Severy, and two brothers, Homer and Lee Armstrong, of Howard. The Howard Courant-Citizen, Howard, Elk County, Kansas, January 23, 1947 OBITUARY---ARMSTRONG Charles F. Armstrong was born in Jackson County, Missouri, June 28, 1877. He departed this life January 11, 1947, at the home of his son, Richard Armstrong, in Sedan, Kansas. His marriage to Miss Marguerite E. Decker took place at St. John, Kansas, August 4, 1905. He followed farming and carpentering. He resided at Severy, Kansas, during the past 27 years. He and Mrs. Armstrong came to Sedan recently to make their home with their son, Richard, and Mrs. Armstrong. He is survived by his wife and nine children, Mary, Denver, Charles of Oak Creek, Colorado, Elnora, Kellog, Idaho, Ruth, Delta, Colorado, Robert and Eva of Wichita, Albert, Dexter, Kansas, Lloyd, Howard and Richard of Sedan. There are twelve grandchildren. Services were held Wednesday afternoon in the Moon chapel, Howard, and burial was in the Grace Lawn cemetery of Howard. Rev. Frank E. Ryerson was the officiating minister.---Sedan Times-Star. Note: Error on birth year in obituary. Correct birth year was 1879. The 1880 Census of Missouri shows Charles F. as 11 months old which would make his birth year 1879 instead of 1877. The 1900 Census Union Center Township, Elk County, KS lists Fred Armstrong born June 1879, age 20, living with and working for the James McNeal family. This is another source indicating 1879 was his birth year.
