From left to right are three children of the Armstrongs: Pearl M (Armstrong) Davenport, Ernest Armstrong, and Lilly (Armstrgon) DeMott. The picture was taken before any of the three children were married. This fine piece of early Miller County architecture was on the Armstrong farm about 3/4 mile south of Highway 52 on the Old Hall Store Road which lead to the Osage River.
