Notes for Omega Bonds: Omega was a frontier Mother of eight children. She homesteaded, with her husband Dan, west of Elk City Okla. near now day highway six. They drove a team of oxen and hauled freight from Weatherford Ok. to Canadian Texas.[Armstrongs then and now 2.FTW] After Dan died, Omie as she was called, moved to Elk City . She lived in a small house on North Walker. Many times when I would drive her back home after a visit , she would ask me to stay long enough to look through the house and under all the beds to make sure no one had slipped in and was hiding there. When I would raise the last bedspread, she would always peer under it herself and say " Who's that under my bed I hope" . That was the Armstrong humor. If you didn't have it when you married into the family, you soon inherited it.
