Obituary from The Wrangell Sentinel - Friday, February 5, 1937: Mrs. Armstrong Buried Today from St. Philip's. Funeral services were held this afternoon at St. Philip's Episcopal church for Mrs. Flora Wyatt Armstrong who passed away Wednesday night at Bishop Rowe General Hospital of rheumatic heart disease with attendant septicemia and bronchial pneumonia. Mrs. Armstrong went south last August to visit relatives in Washington. A few days after her arrival at her grandmother's home she was stricken with rheumatic fever. She was able to return home in November but never recovered from the attack. She became ill about three weeks ago and a few days afterwards was removed to the home of her mother, Mrs. M. A. Cramer. Her condition grew steadily worse and she was taken to Bishop Rowe General Hospital a week before her death. Mrs. Armstrong was born in Lewis County, Washington, on December 21, 1906 and has been a resident of Wrangell since her parents moved here in 1919. She entered high school upon arriving in Wrangell and was known as an exceptionally apt pupil. She married before graduating from high school. While in her early teens she became a member of the Presbyterian church, having been received while Dr. Dobert Joseph Diven was pastor. She is survived by her husband, R. H. Armstrong, a twelve year old son, Robert Shermer and little daughter Arden Armstrong who will be three years old in another month, her parents S. M. Wyatt and Mrs. M. A. Cramer and brother Chadwick B. Wyatt, all of Wrangell.
