Lancaster and community was shocked last Thursday when it became known that James Andrews, one of the town's most worthy citizens, had fallen from a load of hay and died from the effects of the fall about forty-five minutes later. Mr. Andrews and son Elbert were hauling hay from a four acre tract in the southeast part of town just back of the Andrews residence which stands on the corner at the beginning of Tipp Highway. After the hay had been loaded onto the truck Mr. Andrews got onto the hay while Elbert drove the truck and for some reason the hay slipped off and Mr. Andrews with it. He was rendered unconscious for a few minutes and when he came too, and Elbert reached his side he remarked "Get Charley Green to preach my funeral; I am going to die." With the assistance of Mrs. W. C. O'Briant and Mrs. H. E. Mitchell, Elbert lifted him onto the truck and he was taken to the house where he passed away in about forty-five minutes. Mr. Andrews was accustomed to work and was usually busy about his home and for one of his age was active and strong. The Andrews family has the sympathy of all in their sad bereavement. William James Andrews, son of Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Andrews, was born in Cook county, Ind., December 19, 1848, and died at his home in Lancaster, Mo., Thursday, July 9, 1925, at the age of 76 years, 6 months and 20 days. He came with his parents to southern Iowa, where they settled on a farm about six miles north of Lancaster where he grew to manhood. He was united in marriage to Susan Caroine Maize on December 10, 1870, and they journeyed through life together for almost fifty-five years. To this union was born seven children, six sons and one daughter; Luther, Thurman, Ellis, Mrs. Jane Casteel, Glen, Dee and Elbert. All were present at the funeral except Glen and Dee who passed away when small. His life was mostly spent in Schuyler county on the farm until 1911 when he and his companion moved to Lancaster and located in the south part of town. He confessed his Savior at the age of about 21 years and united with the Missionary Baptist church. Later he placed hismembership with the Free Wills. The funeral services, which were attended by a large number of friends, were held at the home on Sunday, July 12th and were conducted by Rev. C. K. Green, pastor of the Memphis Baptist church, assisted by Rev. S. W. Brandom pastor of the Lancaster Baptist church. Interment was in the I.O.O.F. cemetery. He leaves, to mourn his passing, his companion, four sons, one daughter, sixteen grandchildren, three great-grandchildren, besides many other relatives and friends. Thus has gone from our midst a faithful husband, a kind father and a good neighbor and friend. CARD OF THANKS: The Excelsior is requested to extend to the kind neighbors and friends who assisted in various ways after the accident to and death of Mr. Andrews the sincere thanks of the relatives.

Out of town relatives who attended the funeral of W. J. Andrews in Lancaster last Sunday were Fred Andrews of Pekin, Ill., Mrms Roy Utsler of Maquon, Ill., Mrms Arthur Arnold and son, Mrms Hays Black and Hannibal Utsler of Norwalk, Iowa, Tye Utsler and Mrms Dean Laport and daughter of Des Moines, Iowa, Mrms W.
