L.W. ANDREWS BURIED FRIDAY
Sketch of life of
Excellent Citizen
Whose Passing We
Briefly Noted Last Week
The death of L. W. Andrews, Wednesday of last week, called from our midst an enterprising man of middle age. Surrounded by his family and active in business, he will be sadly missed. For about two years he has been fighting a deadly disease. He had consulted doctors, been to a sanitarium in the south, did what could be done by way of relief and at last submitted to the inevitable operation. For eight days his suffering was great; death to him must have come as a sweet release.
Linsy Washington Andrews, son of Almon and Juila Andrews, was born on February 22, 1870, and died October 31, 1923, at the age of 53 years, 8 months and 9 days. He was one of a family of thirteen children brought up on a farm in what is known as East Lincoln. He was united in marriage March 11, 1891, to Georgia Lytle. They made their home on the farm adjoining his birthplace and resided there until they moved to Osage in October, 1920.
Four children came to brighten and bless this union; two daughters and two sons: Mrs. John Dodge, Mrs. Clarence Balsley, who live near the home place,and Harold Andrews, who lives on the home place; one son died in infancy. These children, with the devoted wife and mother, survive and will ever cherish the memory of a kind, good husband and devoted father. Four grandchildren also remain to call him blessed. Of the large family he represents, three brothers and three sisters survive. All mourn his early going, but rejoice that "He giveth His beloved sleep."
Mr Andrews, up until three years ago,devoted his attention almost entirely to farming. In this calling he was a success. He was a good manager and up-to-date, faithful to all the details that count for comfort and happiness in the home and success in business. His character and worth are well known among his friends and neighbors.
Early this spring he entered upon a partnership in the grocery business. He was not able to work, but he could not endure idleness. This was a very happy arrangement and his partner truly mourns his loss. Mr. Andrews enjoyed the confidence and good will of his fellowmen.
The devotion and care shown him in his last illness reveal the love of his family for him. The beautiful array of flowers spoke the regard of his many friends.
A short service was held at the home Friday at 2 o'clock, after which all proceeded to the church at Orchard, where Rev. Artz of Charles City, assisted by Rev. Jennie B. Hitchcock, conducted the funeral service and the body was laid to rest in the Orchard cemetery.
