MRS. ANNE WATERMAN ARMSTRONG.
Mrs. Anne Waterman Armstrong, relict
of Judge James D. Armstrong, was born
in Woodstock, Virginia, while her father
was pastor of the Presbyterian church
at that place and departed this life at
Romney, West Virginia, December 2G,
1908. When very young she came to
Roniney and with the exception of a
few years spent her whole life here.
She was the daughter of the Rev. Do. Wm.
Henry Foote, so well known not oniy
in Hampshire county but also throughout
the church as the author of "Foote'e.
Sketches of Virginia," his "Sketches of
North Carolina," "The Huguenots,' and
other works. Her mother was Eliza
Wilsou Glass, daughter of the Rev. Joseph
Glass, a member of the well known
family of that name in Frederick county,
Virginia. She, therefore, enjoyed the
blessings of honored as well as of pious
parentage.
She was married May 1, 1849, her hus-.
band preceding her to glory September
a, one uimeci witn me Presbyterian
church early In life, the exact date
being unknown as the records of the
church were destroyed during the war
between the states.
She was an intelligent Christian of
deep piety, devoted to her church, thoroughly
informed as to its doctrines,
polity, and the great questions that differentiate
it from other branches of Presbyterians,
liberal in her love for all other
evangelical denominations and intolerant
of error, falsehood and sin. To her,
fidelity to Christ meant fidelity to tli-?
ruth. Possessed of moderate means,
she was liberal in her gifts to the chruch,
charitable to the poor, and open-handed
in her geherosity to those who needed
her benefactions. As a daughter, wife
and sister, she was loving, tender and
devoted, as a friend, true and genuine,
as a neighbor, kind, sympathetic and
helpful.
She will be sadly missed not only by
her church and Immediate friends, but
by the whole community by whom she
was admired and loved; but most of all
Dy ner only sister, Miss Mary Belle
Poote, who is the only near relative that
survives her. The sweet fragrance of
her life will long linger to bless the cominanity,
as attested by the sympathetic
congregation at the funeral services in
her church, which were solemn and impressive.
The text (Isaiah 12:1) was
one repeated by her the last day of her
life, as she was about to ascend triumphantly
into glory.
Perhaps the most conspicuous lesson
we learn from her life is that, although
an invalid the greater part of her life,
requiring the care and ministrations of
father, husband and sister, she was abun
dant in good works and lived to bless
many others. The life consecrated to
Christ can find, and will find, abundant
opportunities to be useful in His kingdom
and an example of piety and good
works to a whole community.
To almost the very end she retafhed
consciousness and interest in all about
her, particularly in the tokens of love she
had planned for her friends as Chris

mas gifts. Of her, it may truly be said:
"Blessed are the dead which die in the
Lord from henceforth: fta, saith tl;e
Spirit, that they may rest from their labors
and their works do follow them"
(Rev. 14:13).
