Death of Audrey Andrew

Earlham Special, February 9 -

The funeral of Audrey Andrew was held Tuesday afternoon at the Friends church at 2 o'clock with Rev. Hester in charge. The music was furnished by a mixed quartet composed of Fred Fry, Mildred Maxwell, Helen Fry and Chalmers Hester. Six boys of the Junior class were pallbearers and six girls of the basketball team were honorary pallbearers. Girls from the Sunday school were flowergirls. The church was packed by sorrowing friends who had come to pay their last respects to one whom they all loved.

Audrey Princelle Andrew, only daughter of Orla and Ella Andrew, came to make her home with them September 15, 1915, and for sixteen years blessed and cheered this home with her presence, scattering sunshine and joy wherever she went.

Her life was spent in or near Earlham. She received her education in the Earlham school, being a member of the Junior class at the time of her death. Enjoying schoolwork, she applied herself diligently to it and ranked high in her class. She had a keen interest in various school activities. She was a member of the girls glee club, the orchestra, the girls basketball team and the Girls Reserves. She also entered the Declamatory contests winning distinction there. She loved her schoolmates and teachers. In the brief intervals of conscientiousness she mentioned them, calling them by name.

Audrey was a birthright member of Earlham Friends Church. She early exhibited an interest in religious life. When but a child she expressed her eagerness to grow old enough to become a member of the Christian endeavor. In this and the Sunday School she was an active and faithful member. She was always willing to act as leader or to perform any other service to which she was called.

Her bright, generous nature endeared her to all with whom she came in contact. Little children loved her and she loved them. They would often wait to walk to school with her. She was ever willing to help, and found great happiness in doing for others.

Dear as other interest were to her her greatest joy was in the home. It was here, for those she loved most dearly, she gave the most and best of herself. She was the sunshine of the home. The relationship between mother and daughter was especially beautiful.

Bright and useful as this life was, it was not given to her to walk this earth for long. God called her Tuesday morning, February 2 she obeyed the summons, slipping quietly away to continue her works here begun.

She leaves to mourn their loss her father and mother, the two brothers, three grandparents, besides many other relatives, and a wide circle of friends.

Death Claims School Girl

Miss Audrey Andrew, 16, Answers Summons After a Week’s Illness With Pneumonia; School Closes for Last Rites Conducted This Afternoon From Friends Church.

The corridors and classrooms of Earlham school are quiet this afternoon. Laughter and happiness there have momentarily been eclipsed by the dark wings of Death. Nearly three hundred youthful faces are thoughtfully grave as they look for the last time upon one who so recently shared their exuberance and hope for the future. If in her passing Audrey Andrew may touch the hearts of these classmates, leaving in their lives the cleanness and high purpose which were hers, then her brief span of sixteen years will not have been lived in vain.

Audrey had been ill for several days but the seriousness of her condition was not realized by friends until Saturday. For more than a week she had lain in the dread coma of pneumonia, but doctors held hope of recovery until the last. Yet her strength was not equal to the final struggle; and at ten o’clock Tuesday morning she quietly slipped over into that void from which there is no recalling.

Miss Andrew became ill on Thursday, Jan. 28. She did not attend school the following morning, being absent from her classes for the first time in over three years. Unwilling to break this fine record, she went to school that afternoon and to the basketball game that evening. On Saturday she felt badly, growing much worse Sunday evening when a doctor was called. Her condition grave all last week, showing no improvement despite tender care by her family and medical attention by specialists from Des Moines and elsewhere.

Audrey was a Junior, and ranked high both in scholarship and student activities.

Funeral services were held this afternoon from the Earlham Friends Church conducted by the Rev. S. N. Hester. The church auditorium was filled to overflowing with sorrowing friends and classmates who came to pay tribute in tears to one who by sterling example had won their highest respect. Interment was in Earlham Cemetery.
