Frank Clifford Armstrong

Frank Clifford Armstrong was born in Parker, Idaho on 25 May 1908 to Joseph Smith and Susannah B. Armstrong.  Growing up, he and his family had a pet badger.  They all really loved it and they had it for a while.  After the badger got into killing the chickens, they had to get rid of it.  He was a very hard worker and did a little bit of everything.  He married Fern Lucile Peterson 14 Apr 1930 in Bybee (near now day Rigby), Idaho.  They were sealed in the Logan Temple 21 Apr 1932.  They lived in a variety of places such as Leslie, Idaho and Vancouver, Washington.  Later on in life, he worked for the Church as a “handy man” to oversee the maintenance of all of the Church buildings in the Midwest for five years.  He never served a mission but while working for the Church he was able to talk to lots of people about the gospel.  He figures that three or four people joined the Church because of him.  I remember going to his house when I was little.  I remember being at his funeral at Rose Cemetery with my cousins.  He lived to be 85 years old.  He died 19 August 1993 in Idaho Falls, Idaho.
