Orland K. Armstrong

Orland Kay Amstrong (October 2, 1893 – April 15, 1987) was a Republican United States Representative from Missouri's 6th congressional district from January 3, 1951 to January 3, 1953. He did not seek re-election in 1952.

Armstrong was born in Willow Springs, Missouri. He served in the Army during World War I and was a member of state representative from 1932–1936 and from 1942-1944.

While publicly vowing not to raise the issue of presidential candidate John F. Kennedy's faith, Republican opponent Richard Nixon had Armstrong working the anti-Catholic bias angle across the country with Protestant Church leaders and secularist organizations.^[1]

He died in Springfield, Missouri and is buried in Greenlawn Cemetery there.
