Hi,

Why do you think they're the same person? They list different children. Matching dates isn't always meaningful, and the first of the month is often a stand-in for an unknown day.

Andover (Victoria Co.) Aug. 3 - Stillman ARMSTRONG, an old citizen of Perth, died Monday last, age 77. Mr. Armstrong had been a robust and healthy man all his life. The remains were interred this afternoon. Services conducted by Rev. Phillips of Woodstock.

It was published on August 5 1892, dateline Aug 3, the Monday that week was Aug 1

The other profile has his wife Maria Lovely, see https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/76815540/stillman-walker-armstrong which lists his children, including the children on the duplicate profile.

Hi again,

I had a number of thoughts.

1. "Monday last" is a horribly vague term. I generally interpret it as an abbreviation of "Monday last week". https://forums.digitalspy.com/discussion/2123524/last-monday-would-you-think-the-monday-just-gone-or-monday-last-week

2. If correct, this means the service was only two days after death, which seems slightly on the short side if it happened now; if nothing else, relatives might want to attend.

3. I agree to the wife's name, since the date of death matches, and her name is engraved.

4. I noticed that the children birthdates started when she was 15 and ended at 47. Not impossible or even unlikely.

5. There is no source info given for the other names. However, I found (only a couple of weeks ago) a newer tree that my uncle created, and it does indeed list all of the same names. I don't have any of his source materials, but his info has been accurate so far.

Three days is the usual average interval for interment after death (Aug 1 - 3) given natural causes. The previous Monday would have been July 25, and would have meant 12 days between death and burial, unlikely given a death in the hot months.

Also since most of his children were buried in the same cemetery, I would assume that they lived close by and could be there in a short time. Given his age, it could mean that others were already there, since telegraphy was likely well established at the time.

9 days, not 12, but I agree, seems unlikely. As for the other, I was thinking transportation time, not communication. Buried there doesn't mean they lived there, although I grant it seems more likely for the time.
