William Armstrong

DIED - In Seneca, on the 27th ult., of apoplexy, Mr. William Armstrong. Thus has passed away another of the pioneer settlers, who, suffering many privations, cleared the forests of Western New York, and made this wilderness to "blossom as the rose." We have been proud to recognize Mr. Armstrong as a friend and patron from the first issue of the Gazette, to the day of his death; have known him as an upright, honorable man, against whom not a breath of hatred or malice could ever justly be directed. The attachments between him and his immediate relatives were of the strongest tie, and at the family hearthstone he found his greatest delight and enjoyment. His decease, following close upon that of his respected and beloved brother, George Armstrong, has made the bereavements of the family peculiarly sad and inconsolable. They are commended to the guardianship of our Heavenly Father, who doth not, except for wise purposes, "grieve the children of men."
