  	Rodeo Rider, move extra dies at age of 90 Theone M. Armstrong--a wild west rodeo performer, a chauffeur with a spotless record, an extra in a Jackie Coogan move, and a jockey--died March 12 in Santa Rose convalescent hospital after a long illness. She was 90 and lived in Santa Rosa since 1967. One of 14 children, she was born in Salt Lake City. Her father was an architect. Her grandfather Henry R. Grow, she said, "designed the Tabernacle." Widowed at the age of 21 when her first husband died and "left with two babies to support," she said in an interview seven years ago, the energetic woman became a rodeo performed. Her family wasn't too surprised she said, because, "I was such a tomboy. When I was married to my first husband we lived in Garfield, a one-horse town near Salt Lake. He'd say, 'Let's get on the horses and shock the natives.' We'd ride pell-l down the street." "I loved to ride horseback. I was a real tomboy. Now the girls are doing everything I used to do when I was called that. "I was born 50 years too soon," she said. She became one of the first, if not the first, woman bareback rodeo rider and bareback steer rider. "I got on one, I got second prize," she once recalled. She also rode in rodeo quarter horse races and raced sulkies and rode a steer in a Path News film feature. She was also an extra in the Jack Coogan move, "Johnny Get Your Hair Cut." When she was 57 she took a job in San Francisco as a civil service chauffeur for the Army and was awarded several citations for driving without an accident during 12 years service. She is survived by her daughter Jeane Armstrong, Santa Rosa; a sister Jude Criswell, Los Angeles; and six grandchildren, six great-grandchildren and one great-great-grandchild and several nieces and nephews. She was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Arrangement were by the Neptune Society.
