Mrs. W. Y. Armstrong Passes Away Suddenly

Lutheran church Member Busy in church Up to Time of Death.

Mrs. Jennie M. Armstrong, wife of W. Y. Armstrong, passed away very suddenly
at her home yesterday afternoon. Up to within an hour of her death she was
apparently as well as usual and had been busy in the work of the Missionary
Society of Zion church that morning. Her sudden death came as a great shock
to her many friends.

Mrs. Armstrong live in Hutchinson for the past seventeen years and during
that time had been very active in the work of the Zion Lutheran church,
serving for more than twelve years as president of the Missionary Society
also having been active as president of the Ladies Aid Society and
superintendent of the Sunday school. The local W. C. T. U. also claimed her
active interest and support and in her Missionary work she had besides her
local activity served as corresponding secretary of the Kansas Synodical
Society.

The funeral service will be held in Zion Lutheran church, Fifth avenue and
Main at 4 o'clock tomorrow afternoon, the services being in charge of Rev.
C. Wilbur Nelson, pastor of the church. Interment will be in the Eastside
Cemetery.

Rev. H. L. Yarger, D.D., of Chicago, a brother of Mrs. Armstrong is expected
to arrive from Chicago early tomorrow. Other relatives here for the funeral
are: three sisters, Mrs. Wm. Flanders, Mrs. Mary Church and Mrs. Harry Work
all of Ellsworth, also two brothers, James Yarger of Russell and Warren
Yarker of Griswold, Iowa are expected. A brother Wm. Yarker of Cleveland,
Ohio and a sister, Mrs. H. Tomlinson of Johnstown, Pa, will perhaps be
unable to come.

Mrs. Armstrong will be sorely missed in all the circles of the church but
she has gone to a blessed reward after a life of faithful witnessing for the
Master.
