Harry F. Andrews, 97, of 315 E. Ross St., died Thursday at 2:25 p. m. at the March Manor Nursing Home, 38 Cottage Ave., Lancaster, after an illness of two years.
Born in Strasburg, he was a son of the late Harry Funk and Anna Landis Kreider Andrews and the husband of the late Ada Martin Andrews. He was a lifelong resident of Lancaster County.
In his earlier years, he was employed as a baker. Later he worked 38 years at Stehli Silk Mill as a machinist before retiring in 1957.
Upon retirement, Mr. Andrews kept busy in his basement workshop. He spent much of his time cutting out baskets, shelves, book cases and many other objects on his saw.
One of his more complex projects was a two-story doll house he fashioned for a 10 year old invalid girl in Pittsburg. He was a master of inlaids, including portraits of Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, a cowboy and an Indian.
One of his more popular articles was a wheelbarrow that stood outside the Andrews home for many years.
A member of the United Methodist faith, he is survived by two daughters, Marian, wife of Joseph A. Starz, York, and Mrs. Anna Mitchell, Lancaster, seven grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren.
