He professed religion several years ago at the M. E. church, but never became a member of any church. He endeavored to live an upright life, and was mainly successful in doing so. He was kind and generous, in his disposition caring more for the wants and comforts of others than for himself. His nature was such as to draw friends to him, and they remained faithful even unto death.
Belonging to a family of twelve children, only two sisters survive him, Mrs. Maggie MURRAY and Mrs. Eliza L. LINDSAY, the other children having gone before. In the death of their last and youngest brother the bereaved sisters have the sympathy of all our people.
About three years ago Andy was stricken with a mental malady that, while not considered of a lasting nature, necessitated his removal to the hospital department of the Central Illinois asylum at Jacksonville, where it was hoped his health would improve sufficiently to allow his return home in a short time. This hope was maintained until last Thursday when the unexpected summons came that he was dead.
