Mrs. J. B. Armor
The subject of this sketch was born on March 20, 1813, and died at Hickory Flat, Miss., on July 8, 1900; aged eighty-seven years, three months, and eighteen days. When about fifteen years of age she became a member of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, in which communion she lived until she was twenty-seven years of age, when, that her whole family might be united in one body, she united with the Methodist Episcopal Church, of which she remained a consistent member until 1880. In her sixty-first year she determined to lay aside all human names and wear only the name of that dear Savior whom she loved so well and tried so long and faithfully to serve and honor. Seventy-two years a follower of Christ and for many years an invalid, the word of the Lord was her constant companion and counselor. Of a deeply devotional nature, she communed often and earnestly with her Savior in prayer, whence she gained strength and courage for the long journey and many trials of life. She always realized that he was a "present help in every time of need." Her only child died early in life, but she became a mother to a goodly number of boys and girls, and she trained them to lives of usefulness and consecration to the service of God. She lived to see the most of them happily in the fold of Christ and leading useful and honorable lives. She was married to our beloved brother, J. B. Armor, in 1859, to whom she was truly a helpmeet, becoming a mother to his little motherless boy when he was but four years old, whom she so taught and trained in body, mind, and soul that he stands to-day one of the truest and most efficient ministers in the church of Christ in Mississippi. The tribute he paid to her memory as he stood beside her coffin, as between his choking sobs he recalled her deeds of kindness, her tender care, and her wise counsel as she led his motherless feet into the path of purity and godliness, did her memory more honor than any monument that could be erected by the hands of men. For many years she was ready and waiting for the call which would free her from the pains and ills of this life, that she might be "clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life." Her aged husband still lingers among us, and we pray that the divine hand may sustain him in his loneliness during his remaining years and that he may continue a faithful leader among the people of God.
