The Democrat, Huntsville, Apr. 11, 1833,
contains the following obituary:
"Suddenly at his residence in this County, on the 30th
of March, Mr. John Armonit, in the Eighty-second year of
his age - thus another revolutionary spirit has sunk into its
rest - Rarely are we called to record the death of a
more virtuous man. - He has been a citizen of this county upward
of twenty years. In the domestic circle, he was a kind and
tender father, and affectionate companion, a social and obliging
neighbor, much beloved by numerous friends, and enemies he had
none. In youth, he boldly met the foe an nobly defended
the cause of liberty- few have ever so well prepared for their
last great change - he settled in earthly concerns - ate a
hearty supper - called his family around him - addressed the
throne of grace - lay down in perfect composure - fell asleep in
the arms of his Saviour, and awoke in the Paradise of his God.
Thus died Mr. Aminet, without a groan, and left a wife,
four children and numerous friends to mourn their loss, which is
his infinite gain, and he now reaps the just reward of his
labors." |
WILLIAM ARMISTEAD.
The grave of this soldier is described in Ball's Clark
County, Alabama, pp. 475-6. We learn that a Capt.
William Armistead of Virginia and three sons, Robert,
Westwood and John, became citizens of Clarke.
The father was a man of strong peculiarities, a gentleman of the
old school, wearing knee buckles and retaining English tastes.
He was twice married and had three sons and three daughters.
One daughter married John Morriss, in North Caroline, and
moved to Alabama; another daughter married Edmund Waddell,
in North Carolina; the third married Dr. Neal Smith a
gentleman of prominence in his day.
The grave stands alone, neatly enclosed with rocks and
pickets on a hill near Amity church in the family burial ground,
on the plantation bequeathed by him to his son-in-law, Dr.
Neal Smith, about eight miles from Grove Hill.
The following is a copy from the marble slab:
