ANDRE—Miss Hortense Andre was born January 21, 1847 and died December 31, 1928. She was the daughter of Jacob and Jane Andre, early settlers in French Grant, Scioto Co., Ohio, and the youngest and last of her immediate family of four sisters and three brothers.

She lived in her home community until 1892 at which time she moved to Mt. Vernon, Ohio, where she resided until 1905. Then several years were spent with relatives in Huntington W. Va., and Wheelersburg, O. Returning to her home in 1919 the balance of her life was spent in Academia, Ohio.

In 1881 she and a sister, Mrs. J. A. Howell, accepted the Seventh-day Adventist faith and became charter members of the Wheelersburg church. Later her membership was transferred to the Mt. Vernon church.

To this cause she maintained an earnest, sacrificing attitude. The sincerity of her Christian experience was made manifest to others by ready appreciation of kindnesses shown her, unselfishness, patience and a persistent effort to use opportunities, in her limited sphere, of carrying to others those Bible truths which she so much enjoyed.

Among the nineteen nieces and nephews who survive her may be mentioned Miss Hortense Howell, Columbus, Ohio; Prof. W. E. Howell, Washington, D. C; and Miss Hattie Andre, Hinsdale, Illinois, who are quite generally known in this conference. - Chas. F. Ulrich.
