JOHN L. G.
ARMSTRONG
John L. G. Armstrong, honored California Pioneer, was born in Illinois and was brought to the Golden state across the plains in his mother’s arms in 1849, when only four months old, a “covered wagon baby.” His parents settled on a ranch in Oroville. In 1906 he came to San Francisco, and until the day of his death was a salesman for the George W. Caswell Company of this city. He was a senior member of the Society of California Pioneers, and one of the six surviving pioneers of the four thousand who came to this state in 1849.
Mr. Armstrong died March 31, 1931, when eighty-three years of age, and is survived by his son and his daughter, William L. Armstrong and Mrs. Rose Daubenbiss, both of San Francisco.
