General Notes: Husband - Dr. John Armstrong


His father gave him all the advantages of early instruction and at the age of twelve sent him to Dickinson College, in which institution he completed his academic studies. Preferring the profession of his father, he entered his office as a student, and afterwards completed his studies in the University of Pennsylvania.
He married in 1825, practiced in Dillsburg, Pennsylvania, afterwards in Bellefonte and finally returned to Cumberland in 1842. He was brought up in the Presbyterian church.
With the view of securing for his grandson, the John A. Herman, Esq., of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, an education such as he had received, he accompanied his daughter Mary, the widow of Christian B. Herman, of Silver Spring township, to Princeton, New Jersey, where he spent the remainder of life. He died in the 72nd year of his age, leaving two sons and two daughters.
