The son of Jesse Taylor and Minerva Jane Ladd Armstrong.
Alex Tribune, Alex, Grady Co., OK, Friday, November 13, 1925: "Jesse T. Armstrong - Pioneer Oklahoma Citizen Dies Suddenly - Jesse T. Armstrong an aged and highly respected citizen of the Alex community died suddenly Monday afternoon between five and six o'clock, as he was in the field assisting his son to gather a load of feed. Mr. Armstrong had not been in the best of health for some time but was able to be about and look after the affairs of the farm. The morning of his death he remarked to his wife that he felt better than he had for two months. He came to town and appearantly was well as common. In the afternoon he went to the field with his son to help get a load of feed, and was driving the team. His son was loading and throwing a bundle of feed into the wagon he looked up and saw his father crumpling down in the wagon. He jumped into the wagon and to his father, but a gasp and he had passed into eternity. He was born in Henry county, Kentucky, January 29, 1856, and died at Alex, Okla., November 9, 1925, and was 69 years, 10 months and 10 days old. At the age of 13 he moved with his parents to Texas. At the age of 15 he accepted Christ as his Saviour and united with the Baptist church and continued a faithful member until his death. At the age of 26 he was united in marriage to Miss Mollie Win. To them were born five sons and two daughters all grown and married, honored and respected citizens of the communities in which they live, and all were present with their mother at the last sad rites of the one whom they so loved and reverenced. Coming to Oklahoma in an early day he had a part in moulding the destiny of the state and was a member of the first legislature of the new state. He loved peace and harmony and when a young man at home he was called the "Peacemaker" by his brothers and sisters. This characteristic continued with him throughout his life and even unto his death which came in the calm of the evening time when all nature was settling to rest. Coming to Alex a number of years ago, he purchased the farm where he had since lived and was held in high esteem by his neighbors, and the whole community. While his earthly labors are ended and his presence is no longer with us, the influence of his good life will never die. A simple but touching funeral service was held at the Methodist church Tuesday afternoon, conducted by Rev. F. D. Grover and the beautiful old hymns of promise were softly sung by the male quartette. Many beautiful floral offerings testified of the esteem in which he was held and bore testimony of the sympathy that words were powerless to express. Burial was made in the Morris cemetery southeast of Alex. He is survived by his widow, five sons, two daughters, nineteen grandchildren, two sisters and three brothers, one of whom, S. J. Armstrong, wife and daughter, of Ada, was present at the funeral. Other relatives from a distance were: Mr. and Mrs. M. A. Nichols, Lookebo, Jesse Armstrong, Tulsa,Mrs. Aubie Armstrong and children,Lawton and Mr.and Mrs. Virgil Barr, Chickasha."
