Leland Armstrong Dies of Monoxide Poison in South Dakota
Leland Armstrong, son of Mr. and Mrs. Earl Armstrong of Arbela, was found unconscious in his truck at Madison, South Dakota, Saturday and died later, apparently of carbon monoxide poisoning. He had fallen asleep while the motor of the truck was running.
Armstrong was discovered unconscious by a passing police officer. Unable to arouse the young man, the officer examined his bill-fold to discover his identity. Mr. and Mrs. Armstrong in Arbela were notified.
Armstrong was taken to a hospital in Madison and efforts were made to revive him, but without success and his death occurred shortly before his parents arrived in Madison.
Funeral services were conducted at the Arbela Baptist church yesterday afternoon at 1:30, by Rev. Claude W. Risinger, pastor of the Memphis Christian church.
Short services were held at the Church of Christ at Bible Grove and burial was in the Bible Grove cemetery.
Earnest Leland Armstrong was born near Bible Grove August 18, 1929.
He resided in Scotland County until June 5, when he went to Madison, South Dakota, where he was working at the time of his death. He attended grade school at Arbela and high school at Granger.
Surviving are his parents, six brothers and four sisters: Mrs. Paul Drillon, Sparland, Illinois; Kenneth Armstrong, Gettysburg, South Dakota; Kathleen Armstrong, Keokuk, Iowa; Private Alvin Armstrong, Warrenton, Virginia; Iris, Delma, Darrell, Vancel, Gale and Dallas, all at home.
