Story/Obituary:
From the Clinton Herald 16 Mar 1954 for JOSEPH ANDREWS:
"Find Man Dead at Fire Scene: Ivan Andrews lifelong Clinton area resident, was found dead today near his burned cabin on Beaver Island, where he lived alone.
Sheriff Marvin Bruhn and County Coroner Ross C. King, who started an investigation at 10:30 a.m., had not returned from the scene by press time today.
Police were notified by telephone of the tragedy at 9:45 a.m., but since the scene was outside the city's section of the island, the case was turned over to the sheriff's office. Officials said the living quarters, located in a lonely spot, may have burned down "some time ago."
Ivan Andrews was born May 4, 1878, in Camanche. Formerly employed in Clinton saw mills and as operator of a grocery store on Liberty avenue, he has farmed on Beaver Island in recent years.
He was married April 11, 1903, to Josie Slagg, who died Jan 28, 1909. Surviving are two sons, Orville, Oak Lawn, Ill., and Clair, Crystal Lake, Ill.
Funeral arrangements are being made at Dalton funeral home." JoAn notes that Ivan was buried at Rosehill in Camanche.
