B. "Billy Armstrong aka Lyman B. Armstrong born 14 Nov. 1871 d. Nov. 1932. It is said that he left home (wherever that was) at age 9 (about 1880) when his stepmother sent him to get a bucket of water. Instead, he hopped on a horse and headed west. He worked with cowboys and in saloons and ended up in Haigler, NE. He married Lela May Snider 6 June, 1894 in Haigler & worked in the mercantile business with J. E. Allen, M. M. Chase, James Grady, and George Bennet. He purchased the store from George Bennet in 1908, which then was affectionately thought of as the Armstrong General Merchandise Store. They had two daughters, Mamie and Dulcy. Any information about this family would be welcome! Thanks!
