Mr. Lewis Andrews, prominent farmer of the South Divide district, passed away at the St. Francis Hospital last Sunday, January 30 following a long siege of illness.
Funeral services were held Wednesday morning at ten o'clock at the Federated Church in McDonald. Rev. J. A. Plantz of the Atwood Methodist Church was in charge of the services. Rev. Clifton Bell of the Federated Church assisted.
Mr. Andrews was one of Rawlins County's more prominent farmers and his passing will be deeply felt by the many whom he met in his long, active life. He was active in the farm bureau work and always a force to be counted on in any community work.
