The Carson City Gazette, Friday, July 20, 1888
Ethie E. Armstrong was born in Vermontville, Mich., October 15, 1870 and died 
in Muskegon, Mich., July 6, 1888, whither she had been taken several weeks 
previously for medical treatment.  He disease was consumption and so quickly 
did it accomplish its fatal work that until some four months since our young 
friend was well and strong.  

Ethie was a Christian and ready and willing to die.  She has gone to her 
sainted mother in heaven.  She was converted and joined the Methodist 
Episcopal Church one year ago last winter.  Thus to her pastor happened, what 
seldom falls to an ordinary Methodist Minister, namely to receive her into the 
church, baptize her, and finally to preach her funeral sermon.  

Her remains were brought to Carson City and the funeral was held in the 
Methodist Episcopal church on Sunday, July 8.  The Sunday School had adorned 
the church with plants and flowers and her church class attended in a body and 
by their tears witnessed their affection for their former classmate.  Her 
remains were taken to Hubbardston for burial when the Rev. W. H. Skentlebury 
attended the last sad rites at the grave.  Mr. Armstrong and remaining 
daughter Flora have the kindest sympathy of all their neighbors and friends.
