General Notes: In her Descendant Book of Seba Armitage, received in September 2010, Kate Bush stated:
obituary was published on 30 Jul 1894 in Warren Co., Indiana. 
A HORRIBLE DEATH The Charred Remains of William Armitage Found in the Fire He Had Been Fighting.
Oregonia the Scene of a Terrible Accident on Last Monday Afternoon
On Monday afternoon William Armitage, a well known farmer, who lived on a farm about a mile south of Oregonia, was burned to death in a fire he himself had kindled. He had been clearing some land and started the fire two weeks ago. It had been burning ever since and had spread from his farm to the land of John Van Horn and Rose Murray. Monday, Mr. Armitage went blackberrying in the morning but returned home about ten o'clock and started at once to fight the fire. He was never seen alive again. In the meantime William Elbon had noticed the fire, and, hastily eating his dinner, hurried to the woods, he found it entirely beyond his control and went for help, first to Mr. Armitage's who he was told, was not at home. Finally John Van Horn and his son came and the three men fought the fire for two hours. While so engaged, they repeatedly passed what they supposed was a log. At length, their attention was attracted and they were horrified to see that it was the terribly burned body of Mr. Armitage. From its position the general belief is that he was overcome by the heat while fighting the fire and had fallen, either unconscious or dead, in the flames. There evidently had been no struggle and the merciful supposition is that he suffered no pain.
Mr. Armitage was sixty-one years of age and a member of the Friends church. His wife and two children
survive him. The funeral services were held at Turtlecreek Friends Church on Tuesday afternoon.
