REV. S. J. ANDREWS DIES OF PNEUMONIA
Leader in the Catholic Apostolic Church
Officially Connected With It Over Thirty Years
Weakened by Illness the Past Summer He Was Unable to Withstand the Attack.
Rev. Samuel J. ANDREWS, leader in the Catholic Apostolic Church, widely known and as widely respected, died at his home, No. 9?6 Asylum avenue, about 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon of pneumonia. His death, though following only a brief illness, was not entirely unexpected, as he had been in feeble health for some time. He spent his summer in Lakeville and in August had a period of sickness which left him in poor condition to stand any serious illness.
Rev. Mr. ANDREWS had been able to attend church last Sunday and on Monday was down town. That night, however, he had a slight chill, the following day he took to his bed and he failed from then on. The arrangements for the funeral had not been completed last evening, but it is expected that it will be held at 2:30 o'clock tomorrow afternoon at the Catholic Apostolic Church on Broad street, with a minister of that church officiating. Burial will be in the Old North Cemetery.
Rev. Samuel James ANDREWS was born in Danbury, July 31, 1817. He was the son of Rev. William ANDREWS and Sarah (Parkhill) ANDREWS and his father was a Congregational minister settled in Danbury. Mr. ANDREWS was educated at Williams College, where he was graduated in 1839. He was a member of the Williams Alumni Association of this city. Union College conferred the degree of D. D. on him in 1879. He was admitted to the Connecticut bar in 1842 and was one of the oldest members of the bar of his native state. Two years later he was admitted to the Ohio bar and afterwards was admitted to the bar of New York state and practiced in New York for a short time. Preferring to take up theology, he studied at Lane Theological Seminary, Cincinnati, Ohio, and was licensed to preach in 1846. Two years later Mr. ANDREWS was ordained pastor of the Congregational Church in Sennile, East Windsor, and removed there for seven years, until 1855 when he was dismissed because of the failure of his voice.
That was his first and only pastorate in the Congregational Church. He was for several years in charge of the department of philosophy at Trinity College and later embraced the faith and tenets of the Catholic Apostolic Church, then in its infancy in this country. He was an active worker in that church for many years and became the pastor and later the angel of the church in this city, a position corresponding somewhat to that of bishop in the Angelican Church. His official connection with the church in Hartford dated from 1868 to 1899 when he retired because of increasing infirmities.
Mr. ANDREWS was a prominent author of religious works and a prolific writer of verse and prose. Among his published works are the following, considered standard works in theology: "Life of Our Lord Upon Earth," "God's Revelations of Himself to Men," "Christianity and Anti-Christianity," "The Church and Its Organic Ministries." He also wrote a memorial of his brother, the late Rev. William Watson ANDREWS of Wethersfield. He was a frequent contributor to "The Courant" and other newspapers on topics of importance and public interest and a magazine writer of prominence, having prepared hundreds of papers on a variety of subjects. He studied law in the office of Benjamin K. Curtis in Boston at one time and had ample opportunity while there to meet Rufus CHONTE and Daniel WEBSTER.
Mr. ANDREWS was married on April 15, 1850, to Miss Catherine Augusta DAY of this city, a daughter of Thomas DAY. She died on December 16, 1902. The surviving children are James Parkhill ANDREWS, Yale '77, reporter of the supreme court; Robert Day ANDREWS, an architect of Boston, and Miss Katherine Elizabeth ANDREWS of this city. Two children are dead, Miss Harriet Day ANDREWS, who died July 25, 1891, and Grace ANDREWS, who died March 23, 1860. He leaves also a brother, Dr. Timothy Langdon ANDREWS of Iowa.
