In later years, this branch of the family spelled the name Armentrout. Christopher's first wife, Marie died in 1837 and he married Elizabeth Borror the following year. After this marriage, he sold his Hardy Co. farm to his brother Daniel and took his family in a covered wagon to Illinois. Sec. 17, now Witt Twp., Montgomery Co. In 1846 he bought 80 acres in Sec. 16, and built a two story house. In the fall of 1848, four of his children died from a disease - possibly typhoid fever - but more likely milk sickness. This was caused by the milk of cows which had eaten the White Snake Root which caused the milk to be poisonous to humans and was also fatal to the cow. This was a common cause of death at the time and few if any ever recovered from it.

Christopher was buried in the Armentrout Cemetery in Witt Twp., close to the site of his original cabin. Elizabeth stayed on the farm until her daughter Sarah was married in 1873, then moved to Kansas with them. She lived with her daughter until she died in 1903 and was buried in Pleasant Valley Cemetery between Chetopa and Oswego, Kansas.
