General Notes: Husband - William Armbrust

---

He learned the trade of cabinetmaking with a man by the name of Henry Miller in Greensburg, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. He followed his trade at Adamsburg and New Stanton, now Old Stanton, till 1860, when he removed to Weavers Old Stand, or Armbrust village, as Weaver's Old Stand proper was situated one-fourth of a mile southeast of Armbrust, along the clay pike, near by where the Greensburg and Mount Pleasant road crossed the pike. When he moved to Armbrust village he purchased an old log grist mill, which had port holes in it that were used in fighting the Indians; there was also an old up and down saw mill adjacent, and these were both run by water power from the Big Sewickley creek. Several dams were built by his father, as the high water would sometimes take the dams away. He ran these mills night and day for many years, and he also bought a farm of one hundred and eighty acres adjacent. There he erected a new frame grist mill and purchased new portable saw mills, which he operated over the country. He sold part of the farm afterwards to H. F. Rumbaugh. His trade in the mill and lumber business was quite extensive. He was appointed postmaster under the Republican administration in time of the Civil War. He was a Lutheran.
