Armstrong Cemetery

This cemetery established in 1904 by Mr. Pomroy, is located about nine 
miles east of Stringtown on property now owned by Clyde Williams. It is 
rather difficult to get to and it is best to stop at Fugate Lumber 
Company about a mile west of the Williams house and ask directions. 
It was canvassed November 24, 1981 by Gwen Walker and Ruth Ishmael.
