ARCH. ANDREW DEAD: AGED 76
Was School Commissioner Of Winnebago County And Served Eight Years
BURIAL IN ROCKFORD
Native of Argyleshire, Scotland, and An Early Day Teacher in Cherry Valley
Archibald Andrew, a former resident of Winnebago county, died at a private hospital in Milwaukee Thursday afternoon, after an illlness of many years of Bright's disease. A message announcing his death was received by his brother, William Andrew, who lived near the city limits. Mr. Andrew was removed a few weeks ago from his home to the hospital where he passed away.
Mr. Andrew was born in Argyleshire, Scotland, November 25, 1836, and was a son of William and Ella Andrew [David and Janet Andrew] The family came to America when the son was a young child, and settled in Winnebago county. The father purchased a home in Guilford township, where he reared a family of seven sons and four daughters.
Archibald Andrew taught school in Cherry Valley and Rockford. In 1863 Mr. Andrew succeeded the late Hiram H. Waldo as the head of the school system of Winnebago county. In those days this officer was called school commissioner and not county superintendent, as he is known today. Mr. Andrew served eight years, until 1873. In that year the office became vacant and E. G. Stiles was appointed to complete the unexpired term. In November of the same year Mrs. Mary L. Carpenter was elected.
James Colville, who was from the same community in the Scotch settlement as Mr. Andrews, and knew him well, states that Mr. Andrews took great satisfaction in his recollection of his army service. He was among those earliest to enlist. He served in the body guard of General McClellan, afterwards enlisting in the Twelfth Illinois cavalry. He fought all through the Peninsula campaign. He was selected by General McClellan as bearer of dispatches in communicating with the fleet at Harrison's landing on the eve of the movement for the change of base from New York river to the James. The army service of Mr. Andrew formed one of the most interesting chapters of his life and gave a fund of experience he was always fond of recalling.
Mr. Andrew is survived by one son, Lucius Andrews, one brother, and two sisters, Mrs. D. Sellars, of Rockford, and Mrs. A. Read, of Springville, Iowa. The brother, Wiliam Andrew, has gone to Milwaukee and will bring the body to Rockford for burial. Funeral arrangements will be completed after his return.
