    Notes:

    ARMSTRONG - This morning at 6 o'clock, at the homestead, Gilnockie farm, near Galt, David Armstrong passed away after a short illness. He had been quite active until the 17th inst. but the sudden death of his eldest daughter Janet, on Saturday morning, distressed him most severely and he retired to bed, sinking gradually until his death on Thursday morning. He suffered acutely for a time, but towards the end he passed away peacefully, aged 75 years.
    The deceased was a native of Canobie, Dumfriesshire, Scotland, and one of the few survivors of the Gilnockie Armstrong's who for about 300 years lived on the old homestead farm in Dumfriesshire, Scotland, until the death of John Armstrong about five years ago. David came to Canada about 25 years ago, and settled on the Gilnockie farm. He was a man of retired, but literary habits, intelligent, and always well informed on the current topics of the day, a great reader, and although not a public man, always exceedingly interested in the political and industrial welfare of the country. His familiar face and figure will be very much missed from the neighbourhood.

    Three daughters and two sons are left to mourn his loss; Elizabeth and Annie, of Toronto; Jean and Joseph at the homestead, and William, of the Ontario Normal college, Hamilton. - Galt Reporter.
