Armstrong - Eliza Drennon - Montgomery InGenWeb Project

On Monday, Nov. 19, the tolling of the bell announced the sad news of the death of one of our oldest citizens, Mrs. Eliza Armstrong, who had been quite sick for several days. Aunt Eliza, as she was commonly called, was the wife of Ambrose Armstrong, deceased, and the mother of 6 children, 3 of who survive: Jeff and Fount Armstrong and Mrs. Press Johnson. She joined the Christian church when quite young and has been a faithful member of the same and has without a doubt been called above to dwell with Him who has prepared such a rest for all his righteous followers upon this earth. Dear friends do not mourn nor sigh because of her departure, but let us try to live so that we will meet her above when called to go. Funeral Services conducted at the Christian church by Rev. LE Murray and Joel Ridge of Ladoga. Interment at Indian Creek Cemetery.-- kbz
