The Pantagraph, Bloomington, IL
June 17, 1899

                   Died at the Poor Farm
                   
                   PRENTICE ARMSTRONG, an aged colored man
                 well known to many of our citizens, died
                 at the poor farm at 8 o'clock last evening.
                 He had suffered from a rupture for some 
                 time. ARMSTRONG was about 60 years old, and
                 was transferred from the Kankakee insane
                 hospital to the county farm about two and
                 one half years ago. He has no relatives here,
                 so far as known, and his body will be buried
                 this evening in the potter's field unless
                 claimed by noon today.
                    This makes the sixth death at the county
                 farm in the last three months.
