She had been in poor health for some time, but was able to be about her household duties until Saturday afternoon about 4 o'clock, when she was suddenly stricken. Her last words were, "I am gone." She was conscious of her sufferings until a short time before her death. Mrs. Andrew was a lady highly respected and none knew her but to love her. She was of a mild and gentle disposition and always had a kind word for all. She leaves a husband, three daughters, three sons, an aged mother, two brothers and four sisters to mourn their loss.
The funeral was conducted by Rev. W. C. Bell, of Lincoln, at the C. P. church at DeWitt, after which the remains were laid to rest in the DeWitt cemetery.
Mrs. Andrew was a Christian, a member of the C. P. church. There were some very lovely floral designs presented; among them a cross and anchor of carnations and roses, and two handsome bouquets, presented by Mr. and Mrs. K. S. Brown, of Clinton, and other appropriate designs by T. O. Brown, of Clinton. The floral pillow was presented by Miss Mollie Lafferty, of DeWitt. The altar was beautifully decorated with flowers arranged by Mrs. Molly Cottingham and Mrs. Lizzie Day.
Her death cast a gloom over the entire community. It was heart-rending to hear her little daughter, Libbie, bidding her mother good-bye as they lowered the casket into the grave. It brought tears to the eyes of everyone.
Dear friends, do not mourn, for she has gone to her beautiful home above and you can go to her and be a happy family in heaven.
