Minnie Armstrong. daughter OF John
and Mary Armstrong, was born in
Kirksville, Mo-, july 6, 1872, and died
at her home in Pendleton, Oregon,
March l6, 1893. The deceased leaves to
mourn her lossa father, John Armstrong,
Of Pendleton, two brothers, Henry OF
Pendleton, Arch, OF Revere. Missouri,
and one sister Mrs. VIM. Mcbride of
Athena.
Miss Armstrong was an exceptionally
bright young lady, and her life seemed
to bespeak Of great possibilities. Those
loved her most who knew her best, and
her cheerful, kindly disposition will be
long remembered by all who knew her.
She will be missed in the church; she
will be missed in her walk with friends
she will be missed in her home. But
the influence of such life as hers will
not be in vain.
She was converted and united with
the NJ. E. church in 1892, and has since
lived a consecrated christian life. She
has suffered from that dread disease
consumption for the past two years, hav-
ing been confined to her bed since
December last. II was the privilege Of
the writer to attend her through her last
illness and during that time no word OF
complaint ever passed her lips. Her
suffering was intense but she bore 1t
fused the administration Of any opiate
to allay her suffering, and when the
pain was almost too great to bear, she
would have those waiting upon her to
read portions of scripture, her favorite
being the % Psalm. Her implicit trust
was in the Savior whom she loved and
served and she ever looked to the one
from whence cometh all help. Could
they have been present, even the most
sceptical could not have but believed 10
the sustaining grace OF Savior in time
Of such great need. But the God whom
she served saw that she had suffered
enough and the call came saying, ''Child
it is enough; come up higher" She
was concious within few moments OF
her death and answered to her name
ten minutes before her spirit took its
fight. She gave minute directions cou.
cerning her burial, which were carried
out to the very letter TIE remains
were. taken to Walla Walla March II,
1898, for interment.
1ne funeral SERVICES were conducted
at the residence OF Mr.. and Mrs. Sam
Mcbride in Walla Walla by Rev. Dun
can Wallace, his text being taken from
Rev. 21 a. The songs, Rock OF Ages
Jesus Savior, Pilot Me-" and s'Shall
We Meet Beyond the River" were se-
lected by Miss Armstrong herself and
were beautifully and impressively sung
by choir consisting Of Mr.. @. l. Hall,
Mrs. George Whitehouse, Mrs. F. New
man, M. Evans and J. T. Mclean. Miss
Armstrong was buried in casket Of
white brocaded velvet, the trimmings
being OF cream satin and lace. The
floral offerings were many, beautiful and
appropriate. The pail bearers were DR.

He had been afflicted with the dread
