Notes |
- An excerpt from a newspaper — It is with regret we report the death of Mr Joseph Armstrong, aged 65 years, after a comparatively short illness, on December 27th. The late Mr Armstrong was the manager of the Broken Luck Mine which has proved a valuable development due to his devotion to duty and long varied mining experience. Born in Cumberland, England, of a mining family, he came to South Africa as a member of a Mounted Unit during the South African War. After the war he came to Rhodesia and following his profession as mechanical engineer, associated with mining, carried out much prospecting in various parts of the Colony. A warm hearted friend and very popular with all who knew him, he will be sadly missed.
The funeral took place at the local cemetery on the 28th, the Revd F A Fitch (C F) officiating. The many followers and the numerous floral tributes testified to the deep respect in which the late Mr Armstrong was held.
To Mrs Armstrong and family Que Que and district tender their heartfelt sympathy in the sad hours of bereavement. [1]
