MRS. GRACE BUNKER ARMSTRONG, 

Wife of Mr. Gilbert Armstrong, a member of the firm of T. J. Armstrong 
& Son, 1008 Eleventh avenue, this city, died at 12 o'clock noon today 
at the home of her sister, Mrs. William B. Reed, on Hickory Street, 
Hollidaysburg.  Mrs. Armstrong suffered an attack of appendicitis last 
week while on a visit to her sister, and last night an operation was 
performed in the hope of saving her life, without avail.  She never 
rallied from the shock. Mrs. Armstrong was born in Hollidaysburg and 
was aged 23 years.  She was a daughter of the late Henry L. Bunker.  
For the past several years she has resided at Wilkinsburg.  June 15 
last she was wedded to Mr. Gilbert Armstrong.  A few days later they 
came to Altoona which was to be her future home.  A handsome new 
residence at Eighth avenue and Fourteenth street, which she and her 
husband was to occupy, is nearing completion.  Besides her husband, she 
is survived by her mother, Mrs. Hannah Bunker of Wilkinsburg and three 
sisters and four brothers - Mrs. W. B. Reed of Hollidaysburg, Mrs. 
Beresford Calvin, Mrs. Herbert M. Smith, Harry L., John G., Paul and 
Joseph, all of Wilkinsburg.  Mrs. Armstrong was a member of the First 
Baptist church of Wilkinsburg.
