   EUGENE W. ARMSTRONG, a successful business man of the town of
Windham, where he operates a general store, was born in this town, Decem-
ber 23, 1865, a son of William H. and Elizabeth Armstrong.  His father,
who is a farmer and butcher, is still a resident of this town, and is a son of
Davidson Armstrong, and a member of one of the old families of this sec-
tion.
   Eugene W. Armstrong was educated in Windham and reared to manhood
on his parents' farm, on which he lived until coming of age.  He then started
out in life for himself and for twenty-four summers worked for the Mt.
Washington Railway.  Six winters he spent in Florida, working for Ander-
son & Price at the Ormond Hotel.  He engaged in his present business Feb-
ruary 1st, 1910, and since starting has built up a good trade.  He is also
interested to a considerable extent in real estate in this town.  A Democrat
in politics, he was his party's candidate for representative in 1910 and 1912,
and although the town is overwhelmingly Republican, he gave his opponents
a good race and made a creditable showing.  He affiliates religiously with
the Presbyterian church.
