A coroner's investigation held Tuesday, Jan. 25 at the O'Donnell Funeral 
Home in Mojave by Coroner Stan Newman, showed Mrs. Lena Mable Armstrong, 
63, died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

She had been living with her daughter and son-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Everett 
Moore, across the Barstow Hwy., near what would be "K" St., if it extended 
that far.

Mrs. Armstrong had been living here since November and had been ill much 
of the time believing she had a cancer although a medical report had not 
been received. She was found lying on the dining room floor by Mrs. Moore 
when she returned from a shopping trip.

Lena Mable Armstrong was born December 20, 1891, in Mexico, Mo., and is 
survived by her daughter, Mrs, Everett Moore; two sisters, Lulu Edwards 
and Sue Lockridge of Mexico, Mo.; and three brothers, Charlie, Jess and 
Hollie Watts, all of Kansas City, Missouri.

Funeral services were held Wednesday, Jan. 26, at 2:00 p.m. in the 
O'Donnell Funeral Home Chapel. Rev. Lee Archer officiated and Rachel Hodges 
was soloist. Interment was in the Mojave cemetery.
