Notes - Albert E. Armitage who is engaged in farming in Seymour township, where he owns valuable property on section 17, is also extensively interested in stock buying and shipping and has been identified with the growth and development of this section of Outagamie County for a number of years. He was born July 13, 1859, at Rubicon, Wisconsin, a son of Thomas and Mary Jane (Strait) Armitage, the former a native of England and the latter of New York. They were married in Dodge County, Wisconsin, Mr. Armitage having come to this section at the age of eight years with his parents, Joseph and Mary (Sykes) Armitage, whose other children were: William, Sykes, Ambrose, Phoebe, Albert, Thomas, Joseph, Robert, Fannie and Willis. Joseph Armitage was a weaver by trade and came to Dodge Co., Wisconsin, in 1836, the last four years of his life being spent in Oconomowoc, Waukesha Co., where he died at the age of seventy-six years. During his residence in Dodge Co., he served as Justice of the Peace. His father, Thomas Armitage, was a head mechanic and foreman in the weaving mills near Manchester, England. Thomas Armitage, the father of Albert E. came to Seymour, Wisconsin in 1870, but after six years went to Monterey, Michigan, where his death occurred in 1911, when he had reached the age of seventy-six years. He was a veteran of the Civil War, having served as a member of the Eighth Wisconsin Volunteers for three years. His wife, who bore the maiden name of Mary Jane Strait, was bon in New York, daughter of Jesse B. and Saah J. (Allwood) Strait. Jess B. Strait was found in the Strait of Belisle, tied and a shawl to a plank, having possibly been cast from some sinking vessel, and he was given the name of Strait by those who rescued him. He had four children: Nemiah, Mary Jane, Hoza and Sarah.
Albert E. Armitage received his education in the log schoolhouse of school district No. 1 which is now one of the handsomest country schools in the State, and at the age of seventeen years started to make his own way in the world. he engaged in farming in Dodge county, and came to Seymour township with his family when he had scarcely a dollar in his pockets, his sole possessions being one horse and two four year old cows. Locating on the old Hathaway place on section 17, on which there were two log cabins, he began to cultivate the land, and he has been so successful that he now has a fourteen room house, a barn 40x100 feet, and a fine silo. His buildings are fitted with cement floors and patent stanchions, and his barn has a basement under all. In addition to clearing up three forty acre tracts in Cicero township, he owns eighty acres of land in Colby, and all are well stocked and in a fine state of cultivation. He is in partnership with Robert Kuhn, of Seymour, in the stock buying business.
On August 29, 1880, Mr. Armitage was married to Mary A. Heintz, who was born April 16, 1862, daughter of Jacob Heintz, and to this union there have been born twelve children: Amy, William, Mina, Harry, Phoebe, Alvah, Claude, Fannie, Nora, Laura, Irwin and Melvin.
