C Salt Lake City
From the life of Francis Armstrong: In 1851 the
Armstrong family, consisting of father, mother and twelve children, emigrated
to Canada and settled near Hamilton, Wentworth county, where the father carried
on his trade of blacksmithing and was also owner of a large farm. Francis could
have had every advantage of education, had he remained at home, but at the age
of sixteen he was seized with a desire to travel and proceeded to the State of
Missouri, where he remained until he was twenty-one. At home he had worked upon
his father’s farm, attending the village school during the winters. In
Richmond, Missouri, he worked for a Dr. Davis in a flouring mill and
subsequently in a sawmill, continuing in the lumber business with that
gentleman until he came to Utah. While residing at Richmond he also formed the
acquaintance of David Whitmer, one of the three witnesses to the Book of
Mormon, and also the descendants of John Whitmer, Jacob Whitmer, Hiram Page and
other families well known to the readers of early Church history. Mr. Armstrong
started for Salt Lake City in the spring of 1861, crossing the plains in
Captain Homer Duncan’s independent company. This company had left the frontiers
at Florence, Neb., before Mr. Armstrong and others from Richmond arrived there,
but they soon overtook it and traveled with the train to Salt Lake Valley,
where they arrived Sept. 13, 1861. Soon after his arrival in Salt Lake City,
Mr. Armstrong became a member of the Church and was subsequently ordained to
the Priesthood and became a member of the 13th quorum of Seventy.
