Medford (Oregon) Mail, Friday, 18 May 1900, Forest Creek Happenings, p. 5, c. 3
Died–-At Dr. Mushett’s sanitarium, on Applegate, May 9th, 1900, of 
strangulated whooping cough, little Blanch Armpriest, aged two years and six 
months. Interment was made in the McKee cemetery, six miles west of 
Jacksonville. She was a bright little child and loved by all who knew her. The 
following lines were written in memory of her by her father, Jas. 
Armpriest: “Farewell darling, farewell loved one, / God has claimed you for 
his own, / And while it grieves our hearts to leave you, / Yet we know ‘tis 
all well done. / Gert and Mabel, how it pained them, / How it pained dear 
papa, too, /And dear mamma could hardly bear / To see her darling treated 
so. / Now, dear Blanch, sweetest angel, / Surely you are in Heaven now. / You 
are resting in God’s mansion, / With bright laurels on your brow.”

Card of Thanks: We desire to express our thanks and gratitude to our friends 
who so kindly assisted us during the illness and after death of our little 
daughter, Blanch, particularly to Rev. Eby and Brother Minear for their words 
of comfort and consolation at the grave. –Mr. and Mrs. Jas. Armpriest.

Mrs. Ada Houghten, of Foots creek, was over to attend the funeral services of 
Blanch Armpriest, deceased.
