Little did our citizens, who saw Dr. Armour on the streets yesterday forenoon, think that in three hours he would be a corpse. At about half past eleven o'clock the doctor was near Leonard's store on the crossing when he called to R. L Hale, saying he was sick. Mr. Hale noticed he looked very pale and assisted him up stairs to his living rooms over Leonard's store, where he was soon taken with vomiting. This seemed to relieve him and he laid down on the couch at the same time asking Mr. Hale to call Dr. Ferguson who came immediately and found him suffering great pain the head. Remedies were administered and very soon he felt much relieved and told the doctor he had better go to his dinner which he did after calling Ella Armour from the silk mill to remain with him. He continued to grow worse and when Mrs. Armour and Mabel arrived from Smyrna where they had been attending the funeral of Mrs. Dumon, fund him in a very serious condition. Doctor Ferguson was again summoned also Drs. Martin and Stanton. They found him unconscious and all effort to revive him was of no avail. He died shortly after two o'clock, the physicians agreeing that it was a stroke of apoplexy.

Augustus M. Armour would have been forty-eight years old had he lived the 26th of this month. He came to Smyrna sixteen years ago and shortly after moved to Cook's Corners, remaining a year, where his first wife died, then came to Belding. He was a fine physician, enjoyed a good practice and although he had his faults, was always found to be a kind friend to a friend and ready to grant a favor.
He was seemingly as well as usual, yesterday morning, made a call at Uncle Wm. Spencer's during the forenoon, did some office work and got up the rig for his wife and daughter.

He leaves a wife whom he married only a few months ago, two daughters, Ella and Mabel, and a son Victor Armour.

He will be missed very much by his brother physicians and his many patients.

The funeral service will be held at the Congregational church, Friday at 2 o'clock pm., Rev. O. J. Golden officiating. Interment at River Ridge Cemetery.
