He was member of Missouri State Senate, 1879–1883; Missouri Supreme Court commissioner, 1884; judge of the twenty-second judicial circuit of Missouri, 1886–1890.
In Congress he was one of the managers appointed by the House of Representatives in 1905 to conduct the impeachment proceedings against Charles Swayne, judge of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Florida.
De Armond and his young grandson both died in a fire that destroyed his home in Butler, Missouri. He is buried in Oak Hill Cemetery.
