Shipman of the Ames Methodist church conducted the services and interment was made in the Ames cemetery.

John Carr Andrews was born July 20th, 1848 in Mantina [sic], Illinois.

At the age of 33 he was married to Miss Margaret Knowlen*, but their happiness was for a few short years, only. When Frank the only child was thirteen months old, the mother left them to cross the river and join the mighty caravan in the Great Beyond.

Mr. Andrew came to Iowa fifteen years ago to make his home with his son, where he lived until called by death.

Those attending the funeral from away were Mr. John Jennett and his mother and Mrs. Hugh Jennett of near Algona, Mr. James and Thomas Jennett and their sister, Miss Celia of Colo and Mr. and Mrs. Tom Lowry of Fernald.

Mr. Andrew was a kind and loving father and grandfather and loved by all who knew him.

The sympathy of the entire neighborhood goes out to Mr. and Mrs. Frank Andrew and family in this sad hour of bereavement.

*SUBMITTER'S NOTE: John Carr Andrew married Margaret "Maggie" Nolan/Noland on 21 December 1882 in Kankakee County, Illinois.
