Mrs. Lena Armstrong, aged 67 years, widow of the late Dr. J.H. Armstrong, long
time resident of this city, passed away at the Muston convalescent home on Ionia

Mrs. Armstrong was the former Lena MacFarland.  She was born at Paris, this
state, and came to Belding as a young lady, holding a position in the old
Richardson mill office for many years.  She was married to Dr. J.H. Armstrong
and to this union was born one son, Mac, now with the army medical corps at Camp

step-daughter, Mrs. Robert Symmons of St. Johns; two sisters, Mrs. Margaret
Campbell and Mrs. Maude Mickle, and a brother, Peter MacFarland, all of Big Rapids.

Mrs. Armstrong had been in poor health for a long time and both prior to and
following the death of her husband some months ago she had been cared for in
Kalamazoo and later on was brought to the city to be cared for at the Muston
home.  She was a member of the Washington club of this city and has a host of
friends here who will regret to learn of her passing.

Funeral services were held on Wednesday afternoon at 2:30 o’clock from the
Fitzjohn Funeral home with Rev. Henry Rust, pastor of the Congregational church,
officiating, and burial was in River Ridge cemetery.  Pallbearers were Walter
Lambertson, George E. Wagner, Herman Salzman, Martin Smith, Glenn E. Wortley and
