Wife Lucy's Obituary:
The Republic-Journal (Darlington Wisconsin) 12 Mar 1875
Mrs. Lucy Andrews, wife of Deacon Anson Andrews, died in the township of Wayne, La Fayette Co., Wis,, Feb. 16th, 1875, aged 94 (sic) years. Sister A. experienced religion in the 16th year of her age, while attending a M.E. cam meeting, though with her natural reticence she made no public avowal of her attachment to the Savior for some months, this perhaps is in part accounted for by the fact that at the time of her conversion she was occupied in teaching school and among strangers; but the candle of the soul being lit, it could not be kept under a bushel. Her first church relationship was with the C. Baptists. At the age of 20? 28?, she was married to Brother Andrews, and there bein no F.W. Baptist church in their community they thought best to wait and see if God would not open a way for them to form a part of a church of their united choice, in due time the opportunity was offered and gladly embraced, by the organization of the Cherry Valley church, in the Ashtabula Q.M.O., by Rev. R. Dunn. Thirty years ago they moved to the township of Wayne, Wis. Finding no church, they, with some more F.W. Baptists, soon sought to be, and were, organized into a church by Rev. N. Woodworth, thus becoming the first lively stones of a spiritual temple in this place. Sister A. has all these years been a true follower of the Master, taking a lively interest in the church at home; the Q. Meetings rarely missed her presence and voice the feeling prevailing "time is short" I must do what I can. God blessed the union of Brother and Sister A. with 12 children, half of whom have preeded their mother in the valley of death. Those living, through the Godly example of their parents, are walking in the paths of the regeneration. Of her is may be said, she hath done what she could. A large circle of friends and relations mourn their loss, while our Brother has the deep sympathy of all. The church has lost a faithful member, the community a good neighbor, and Brother Andrews a wife who in his words was "always faithful and true." Com.
