Son of Calvin
On Thursday, March 14, 1918, about 10 a.m., Mr. George Dillman Andrick and his father Mr. Calvin Andrick, were assisting their neighbor, Mr. Gilbert Dellinger, in cutting some timber, blown down by the storm on Sunday previous, so as to get it out of the way to repair the fence broken down by the fallen timber.
When Mr. Dillman Andrick and Mr. Dellinger sawed off a tree 8 feet from the stump that had lodged, it kicked back and to the side on which Mr. Andrick was, and in some way caught him under the body of the tree which was only a fraction over 12 inches in diameter at the saw cut. His body was at least two feet forward from the saw cut and thus about 6 feet from the end of the tree that had to pass him, and was as if he first fell to his knees and then forward lengthwise with the tree.
His father and Mr. Dellinger managed to release his body, but he was unconscious. And although they phoned for a doctor within a few minutes, he was dead within half an hour, and they had to convey the lifeless form back to his home only about ¼ mile away from whence he had come only a couple of hours before with his usual jolly disposition.
They had planned precautions against danger, but after all they failed. The result was a tremendous shock to his father and Mr. Dellinger, but especially to his wife when the first breaking of the news to her was the dead body.
He was born July 19, 1885, and was aged 32 years, 7 months, and 25 days. After a brief service at the house Saturday at 10 a.m. the body was taken to the Reformed church at Conicville, where his pastor, Rev. B.K. Hay, assisted by Rev. W.L. Darr, conducted the funeral service, the church being packed and a large number could not get in.
He leaves a grief stricken wife, who was before marriage, March 30, 1910, Miss. Angie Sevilla Funkhouser, a little son. Two little daughters preceded him in death. Also left to mourn his passing, his father, mother, one sister, and one half brother, besides many other relatives and friends.
