General Notes: Husband - Alexander M. Armor

Murdocksville, Allegheny Co, PA

In religion he was a Presbyterian, an elder in Hopewell Church, and afterward in the Hebron Church-a branch of the Hopewell Church. Politically he was a Democrat. He moved to Burgettstown, Washington County, Pennsylvania, in November, 1892.

He attended the schools of Hanover Township when he was young and then commenced to help his father on the farm and owned land ever since he reached man's estate. His farms in Hanover Township were well improved and he put up all the buildings now standing. He had almost all of the land free of timber, having cleared 45 acres himself. He never experimented for coal deposits, but he had eight oil and gas wells on his land that were of value. During the whole of his active life he carried on general farming.
He was a member and an elder in the First Presbyterian Church of Burgettstown and before leaving his farm was an elder in the Hebron Church. In politics he was a Democrat and served three terms as assessor of Hanover Township and many terms as a school director. He was a stockholder in the Burgettstown National Bank.
