Miss Katherine Armour, aged 78 years, died at her home in Westmoreland today after an illness which began In February last. when she was exposed to cold through walking in the snow bare-footed. She was a sister of the late Nicholas N. Armour, who died a few years ago, and like him pursued unusual habits in life, and was considered peculiar in her ways of economy and household conduct. She was born in New Hartford in 1832. of parents who came
from Ireland. Her brother had his coffin ready in his house for years before he died, and others of the same family did the same, but Katherine made no such provision, though she suggested a short time since that a cherry table in her house might make a good box in which to put her coffin.
She will be the first one of her family to be buried in the usual way of being supplied throughout by an undertaker. Miss Armour is well remembered by our older citizens from her periodical visits here. She was deformed and bent, but could walk about readily until later years. Among her personal effects is a book which she cherished in life, and in which are written he names and brief sketches of many of her friends. She would ask callers to write in this book for her, and to write something about themselves. The names of many Romans are in this book. The funeral service will be conducted by Rev. A. L. Bryon-Curtiss of Rome.
