Notes for Mary Reynolds ARMSTRONG
In 1929 Mary lived in Toquerville, UT. She is a product of Wilson Presbyterian Church in Mira Valley, NE. Before marriage she was a mission school teacher in Korea for 5 years.
Mary was a strong personality. It was said that she seriously "hen-pecked" her husband.
Mary wrote the following:
"We older children of William Armstrong, Rob, Harry and Mary, always carried this "candle stick" to the cellar when we went to get apples or other stored goods. This old home was near Pittsburgh, PA. We left that home in 1855. There would be as many as 50 bushels of apples in the old cellar so it took many trips with the candle.
"This little pig was given to me, Mary Armstrong Hamilton, by Madam McCormack, wife of Cyrus McCormack, inventor and maker of the first harvesting machines, reapers and binders. Mrs. McCormack was a friend of Park College. For some years she paid all expenses for a trip to Chicago and two weeks in her palatial home, as a reward to winners of essay prizes at Park College. This prize I won in 1899. It was a real fairy tale trip in my life.
"With Alice Armstrong, I was visiting in Pennsylvania around August 1908, perhaps owing to the death of their sister Belle in January. They visited in Pittsburgh, Greensburg, Aspinwall, Niagra Falls, Toronto, Ontario and other places.
"After Anna died in 1908, I, Mary Armstrong, lived with Aunt Sadie (Stanford) and ws married in Bethel Church near her home.
"Early went to Korea as a teacher."
(Mary, while single, was a teacher in Korea for five years. She was a church mission worker there.) After her marriage, went with her husband to Utah (1910 or 1911). Lived in Toquerville, Utah (later in Florida and Nebraska). Was living in Delta, Utah in Sept. 1920.
