      ADAM ARMSTRONG PASSES AWAY
                            _____

      Veteran Hotel Man Died Last Night
           at Half Past Six of Cirrhosis
                           of Liver

      Adam A. Armstrong, the veteran hotel proprietor of the Antler's hotel, died at half past six last night of cirrhosis of the liver and dropsy. He had been ailing for about five months and recently, in order to recuperate, took a trip to Mt. Clemens, Mich., and visited the baths there. He took to his bed after returning to Brainerd and appeared to be getting better until last Thursday, when a relapse set in and he was unconscious for four days. The end came peacefully last night.
      The deceased was born October 5, 1859 in Oswego, N. Y. He left there as a child and was brought up and educated in Upton, Province Quebec, Canada. At the age of twenty he came west and located in Minneapolis. It was there that he was married on January 2, 1888 to Miss Mary Wolvert. They came to Brainerd and for the last 16 years he has been engaged in the hotel business in this city. To them one child was born, Miss Eliza Armstrong, who is now 17 years of age.
      Mr. Armstrong took a great interest in public affairs and served one year as alderman of the first ward of Brainerd. He was a member of many fraternal orders and belonged to the Elks, Eagles, Redmen and the Degree of Pocahontas. He was always of a kind and generous nature and his sterling qualities as a man were admired by his large number of friends and acquaintances. A sister, Mrs. Eliza Martin, has come from Upton, Can., to attend the funeral. He was an earnest member of St. Francis Catholic church and the funeral will be held on Thursday morning at nine o'clock from this church. The sympathy of their many friends is extended the family in their bereavement.
