John M. Armstrong passed away last Thursday, August 2, 1923 at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Thomas Kendall, on Horsehead creek west of Clarksville. Mr. Armstrong was born August 18, 1834 in
Henry County, Tennessee. He was the son of Captain Lynas Armstrong who was a soldier in the Mexican war.
When John M. was a small boy the Armstrong family moved to that part of Arkansas which is now Logan County. When a young man
he went to Texas and was in that state when he enlisted in the army of the Civil War. He was a member of
Company K of the llth Texas Cavalry and was wounded slightly both at Marysville, Tennessee and
Elk Horn, Arkansas. After receiving his discharge he came back to Arkansas and soon located at his
present home now occupied by his son, Lee, on Horsehead creek. On September 21st, 1865 he was married to
Mary Elizabeth Hamilton. They were the parents of three children, Felix Lee, Mary Belle and Lillie. The
last named died in infancy.
In 1874 Mr. Armstrong was elected sheriff of Johnson County. This was the year in which the present court house building was completed and during the turmoil of reconstruction and the days of open saloons, when to be the sheriff of a county meant much exposure and often hazardous encounters with both desperadoes and drunks. Mr. Armstrong served two terms, deporting himself well in that capacity. He was a member of the old Spring Hill Cumberland Presbyterian church having joined soon after its re-organization after the civil war. Mr. Armstrong was a public spirit man. He was always honorable in his dealings with men and out spoken and straight forward in expressing his opinion. He never swerved from that which he knew to be right. The upbuilding of the school and all public enterprises received his full support. Mrs. Armstrong passed away on April 11, 1903. And most of the intervening years between her death and his, he spent at his old home with Mr. and Mrs. Lee Armstrong, however recently he went to the home of his daughter where he was when his spirit took its flight into that land from whence none ever return. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. Boudra and Dr. E. Hefner. Mr. Armstrong belonged to the John C. Hill Camp of Civil War Veterans and Hon. E. T. McConnell and James G. Coffee each gave an address eulogizing in brief the splendid record of Mr. Armstrong both as a man and as a soldier. One of the veterans who attended this burial said that even though the day was a week day yet the concourse of persons present was as great if not out-numbering any he had ever seen in a rural cemetery. His grave was a blooming mound of beauty, thus attesting the esteem, in which he was held in the country where he has spent the most of his long life.
