JOHN S. ARMITAGE.

   John S. Armitage was born in Alexandria, Huntington County, Pennsylvania,
September 19, 1825, and moved to Logansport, Indiana, in 18?6, and from there to
Delphi, in 1837. His father was a contractor on the Wabash and Erie canal. In
1846 he enlisted in Company G, at Logansport, in the First Regiment, Indiana
Volunteer Infantry, in the Mexican War. The company left for the seat of war, in
April, 1846, went to Madison, and from there by steamer to New Orleans, where it
crossed the Gulf to Mexico. At the close of the war, the company was discharged
at New Orleans, and the soldiers paid their way home, after receiving seven
dollars per month. Mr. Armitage was one of the men who went to the gold fields
of California in 1849. After several years spent on the Pacific coast, he
returned and was married to Mrs. Emaline (Connelly) Burns, who died on February
10, 1893. Mr. Armitage has been an active member of the Old Settlers' Society,
and served as president two years. He is now eighty-nine years old, and enjoying
good health.
