General Notes: Husband - John Armbrust

---

He was born in Germany and came to the United States on board the second German ship that ever sailed from that empire to America, which took thirteen weeks to make the trip, landing in Philadelphia. He was a printer by trade and edited a German paper at Greensburg, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, known as the Star of the West, and after-wards became editor of the True Democrat. He was a well educated man and taught German schools in the county for several years. He was a demo-crat who always worked unceasingly for the welfare of his party; a Lutheran who never neglected any duty of his church and a man who ever contributed to any deserving cause of charity.
