She had been living with her daughter and son-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Everett Moore, across the Barstow Hwy., near what would be "K" St., if it extended that far.

She was found lying on the dining room floor by Mrs. Moore when she returned from a shopping trip. Lena Mable Armstrong was born December 20, 1891, in Mexico, Mo., and is survived by her daughter, Mrs, Everett Moore; two sisters, Lulu Edwards and Sue Lockridge of Mexico, Mo.; and three brothers, Charlie, Jess and Hollie Watts, all of Kansas City, Missouri.
