C. BOWMAN ARMSTRONG was born in 1843, in Elk Run township, the son of Andrew and Elizabeth (Bowman) Armstrong. Having completed his scholastic training, he being the eldest child it was necessary for him to remain on the old homestead and assist his father in the management of the farm. In 1862 he offered his life and services to his country by enlisting in Company G, One Hundred and Fourth regiment of Ohio volunteer infantry, under Capt. Sturgeon. After having served for nearly three years he received his honorable discharge at Raleigh, N. C. His record as a soldier was of the best, he always having been found at his post of duty. When Mr. Armstrong returned home after having given three of the best years of his life to the service of his country, he had but $300, but at once settled down to active life. His industry and enterprise have been rewarded insomuch that he now owns 199 acres of fine farming land, with good buildings, good stock and all that appertains to the successful operation of the farm. He is an honored citizen and popular with all who know him best.
