Louis Armon Called to Rest

Highly Respected Citizen of St. Lawrence Was Helplessly Bedridden For Past Two Years

Louis Armon of St. Lawrence died at his home three miles north of Ogdensburg Friday, Jan. 21, after an illness of several years, the last two years having been helplessly bedridden.

Deceased was born May 12, 1861, and was the youngest of a family of ten children. Early left an orphan, much of his education was acquired in the school of hard knocks. Kind-hearted and upright in all his dealings he enjoyed the esteem of those who knew him from boyhood through his mature life.

October 14, 1887, he married Miss Hattie Smith of St. Lawrence. To this union four children were born, three of whom died in infancy and early childhood. The one surviving son, Burr Armon, with his family, resides near the old homestead and has been a faithful assistant to his mother in caring for the invalid husband and father.

The funeral was held Monday and was largely attended, Rev. W.W. Woodward of First Baptist church of this city officiating. In5erment was in Ogdensburg cemetery.

Two brothers, Melvin Armon of this city and Frank Armon of Ogdensburg and one sister, Mrs. Charles Russell, of Nebraska, are the only survivors of a family of ten children who resided with their parents in the vicinity of Waupaca in early pioneer days.
