OBITUARY FROM THE PITTSBURG GAZETTE - 24 AUGUST 1928

Mr. R. P. Armour, one of Camp County's best-known citizens, died at his home 2 miles northeast of this city Monday night at 7:30 p.m. His death came after an illness of more than two months. Funeral services were held this afternoon at the Methodist Church by Dr. A. D. Sharpman, Pastor of the Baptist Church. His body will be intered in the Rosehill Cemetery.

Mr. Armour was 68 years of age, born in Georgia, and came to Camp County when a boy of 19. He,was married here to Miss Emma Duke, to which union, 6 children were born, 5 of whom are living: T. F. Armour, Phoenix, Arizona, W. H. & Mrs. George Callicoatte, of Tulare, California, Mrs. J. M. Brummell, Pittsburg, Texas, and Mrs. C. C. Ballard of Dallas, Texas. All children were present at the funeral.

The deceased enjoyed a wide acquaintance and was regarded as one of the best farmers of the county. He was identified with agriculture interests in the county for 49 years and was much interested in the development of the county generally. He was a splendid man whose counsel and advice was always sought and valued, and the community and family will miss him.
