Mrs. J. T. Andrew Dies Monday Passes Away at Six A. M. at Home in This City After Long Sickness and Much Suffering
Mrs. J. T. Andrew died Monday morning of this week at six o’clock at her home on East Second Street in this city after a long sickness. The funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon at the local Methodist church. Rev. E. S. Menoher had charge. Burial was made in the cemetery at Guss.
Out of town relatives in attendance at the funeral were: Mack Andrew of Archer, Wyoming; C. R. Andrew and family of Guss, Mr. and Mrs. Lew Nichols and daughter Ellen of Indianola, Iowa; Mrs. Ruth Coffin and two children of Davenport, Iowa; Clarence Andrew of Slater, Missouri; Mr. and Mrs. S. N. Boyd and two children of Des Moines, Iowa; Harry Andrew and family of Sharpsburg, Iowa; Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Andrew of Guss, Mrs. Susan Anson and Alva Hicks and family of Guss, J. H. Andrew of Chariton, Iowa; Eva Andrew of Nevada, Iowa; A. H. Anson, Arthur Andrew and Perry Andrew of St. Joseph, Missouri; Dave Crouse and family and Alonzo Hiatt of Clarinda, Walter and Edgar Andrew of Elliott, and Mrs. Will Butler and two children of Essex. Raymond Andrew of Harlowton, Montana, was the only one of the eight children unable to attend.
At the funeral services Rev. Menoher read for the scripture lesson the 21st chapter of Revelations, showing a vision of the world to come. He took for his text Revelations 14-15, speaking briefly of the life of the deceased, which he said was a sermon in itself. The obituary read at the services is as follows.
“Mary Ellen Anson was born near Wilmington, Clinton County, Ohio, November 23, 1845. At the time of death she was 73 years, 5 months and 19 days of age. On December 28, 1864, she was married to John Thomas Andrew in the county of her birth. To their union eleven children were born, eight of whom survive her. The other three died in infancy. The surviving children all have families of their own, representing twenty-four living grandchildren and two great grandchildren. Besides her husband and direct descendants she leaves two brothers and one sister in the state of Ohio. Early in childhood Mrs. Andrew united with the M. E. church, but after her marriage transferred her membership to the Quaker church that she might be with her husband. In 1868 the young couple moved to Iowa. In 1871 they took up their home on the farm in Taylor county where they lived for almost forty years. There they helped organize and build the Maple Grove church at Guss, transferring their membership to Villisca soon after moving to this city in February, 1918. In these few words the life of a loving and Christian mother is briefly outlined. Thus like the closing of a book of good works, the last chapter of which is the best, so closes the life of her whose works shall follow from generation to generation. As they pass down the stream of life, while temptations beset their pathway, it shall always be that ‘Mother’s prayers have followed me’.”
