C. Armold, a farmer, was born in York County, Penn., July 13, 1831, the son of 
Peter and Barbara (Lehman) Armold, natives of Pennsylvania, and born in 1803 
and 1809, respectively.  They were of German stock, and the father was occupied 
at the farm until his death, in 1869, but the mother still survives him, in the 
county of our subject’s birth and education.  Our subject worked independently, 
about two years after his majority, before he married.  From that time he was a 
farmer in York County for about seven years before he began in wood and stone 
work.  It was in 1871 that he came to Clark County, and settled on his present 
estate, where, in connection with farming, he was engaged burning lime for 
about fourteen years.  His wife, Sarah A. Stouffer, was born in Lancaster 
County, Penn., December 9, 1836, and married in 1854.  Eight of their thirteen 
children are living, and are as follows: Emma, a deaf mute, educated at the 
Pennsylvania Deaf and Dumb Institute, at Philadelphia; Jacob, Winfield, David, 
Anna C., Reuben, Franklin, and Christopher, also a deaf mute.  Our subject’s 
good business qualities have made him the possessor of 114 acres of good land, 
acquired by a self-made man.  He first voted for Gen. Scott, in 1852, and votes 
the straight Republican ticket still.  He and his wife hold to the religious 
faith of the Methodist Church, although they are not members at present.
