Andrew McAndrew Killed at Austin.
On Thursday last, Andrew McAndrew left Cresco to visit his boy who is running a bowling alley at Owatonna, Minn., and the next morning word was received in Cresco that he had been killed by the cars in the railroad yards at Austin. His son says that he left Owatonna that evening, he seeing him off on the train, and from all he can learn in Austin, that he must have stepped off the wrong side of the train and while endeavoring to get around the train been struck by the tender of an engine, which knocked him down and run over the body from the left shoulder to the right leg. The body was found soon after the train for Calmar had left the yards and identified by Ed Boyle, formerly of Cresco.
The remains were brought to Cresco for burial and the funeral was held Saturday afternoon.
The deceased was 70 years of age and a ventran{sic} of the civil war. He has been a resident of Cresco for over 40 years with the exception of a few years spent at the Soldiers Home in Milwaukee. He leaves two sons, Andrew and Charles.

Transcriber’s Note: Find a grave shows he is buried in Calvary Cresco Cemetery and was born in 1843 and died September 17, 1909.
