        JAMES W. ARMSTRONG & SON, dealer in tobacco, cigars, liquors,
     etc., Ludington, have been in business her since 1873.  JAMES W.
     ARMSTRONG came to Ludington in 1873 from Flint, Mich.  He was
     born in Erie County, N.Y., in 1817.  He was with the Tenth Mich-
     igan Infantry from 1862 to the close of the war in 1865.  Soon
     after coming to Ludington he erected the building corner James
     and Dowland, in which their store is located.  James Street was
     not graded, and there were only a few small frame buildings in
     that part of town.  WILLIAM E. ARMSTRONG, the junior member of
     the firm, came here from Nevada in 1873.  He went to Nevada from
     Flint in 1861, where he remained until coming here.
