Rebecca Agatha Armour

Rebecca Agatha Armour (25 October 1845 – 24 April 1891) was a Canadian teacher and novelist born in Fredericton, New Brunswick. Her fiction has been said to provide a "rich depiction of New Brunswick social life during the 19th century." The intention behind it was to cherish "every right and institution which makes our beloved New Brunswick the pride of its loyal people."

Life Armour was the eldest of the four daughters of a grocer, Joseph Armour, and his wife Margaret Hazlett.

Armour taught in Fredericton for many years, but moved to a school in Lancaster (now part of Saint John), probably in May 1873, when her teaching licence was transferred there. She seems to have moved back in 1878 to Fredericton, where she married on 22 January 1885 a carriage maker, John G. Thompson, who was also the child of Irish Presbyterians. They had no children.
