HelpMeFind's future is in your hands - Please do not take this unique resource for granted.

Your support of HelpMeFind is urgently needed. HelpMeFind, like all websites, needs funding to survive. We have set a premium-membership yearly subscription amount as low as possible to make user-community funding viable.

We are grateful to the many members who have signed up so far, but the number of premium-membership members remains too small for us to sustain the current support and development level. If you value HelpMeFind and want to see it continue we need your support too.

Yearly membership is only $2.00 per month and adds a host of additional features, and numerous planned enhancements, to take full advantage of the power and convenience of HelpMeFind. Click here to start your premium membership..

We of course also welcome donations of any amount. Click here to make a donation. Donations of $24 or more receive a thank-you gift of a 1-year premium membership.

As far as we have come, we feel HelpMeFind is still in its infancy. With your support we have so much more to accomplish.

David Ligon Armstrong (May 5, 1927 Ontario CA - July 4, 2019 Pomona CA), son of John A. and Ruth Harrison Armstrong

[From Botanica's Roses, p. 677:] Armstrong was active between 1963 and 1972, at Armstrong Nurseries, Ontario, California.

[From his obituary on "Find a Grave":] David was born May 5, 1927 at home in Ontario, California. He was the second son of Awdry and Ruth Armstrong, having an older brother John and later a younger sister Janetha. He grew up in Ontario playing in the orange groves and attending Edison Elementary School. He used to tell the story of making up creative newspapers to sell to the neighbors and at Halloween putting pins in the doorbells. As a boy he helped package plants in containers for his family’s nursery, Armstrong Nursery of Ontario. David was a modest young man, hard working, sensitive and happy, with a love for his grandmother’s bottled picked peaches and adventure books.
