Obituary—John Thomas Andrew
John Thomas Andrew was born in Clinton County, Ohio, January 3rd, 1841, and departed this life November 2nd, 1924, at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Mae Nichols, Indianola, Iowa, at the age of 83 years and 10 months.
He was the 6th child of 10 children, only one of whom survive, Wilson H. [obbs] Andrew of Villisca, Iowa.
He was married December 8th, 1864, to Mary Ellen Anson, in Clinton, Ohio. Four years later they emigrated in a covered wagon to Mahaska County, Iowa. Two years later they moved to Taylor County and settled on a farm one-half mile north of what is now Maple Grove church, having lived on this farm continuously for 47 years. In February 1918, they retired and moved to Villisca, Iowa. On May 12, 1919, his wife departed this life.
To this union eleven children were born, three of whom died in early infancy. Those surviving are Mack Andrew [Americus Jacob] of Denver, Colo., C.[linton] R. Andrew of near Guss, Iowa; Mrs. Mae Nichols of Indianola, Iowa; Mrs. Ruth Coffin of Davenport, Iowa; C. [larence] T. Andrew of Kansas City, Mo.; R. [aymond] S.[amuel] Andrew of Denton, Mont.; Mrs. Leona Boyd of Des Moines, Iowa; Harry Andrew of near Guss, Iowa. He also leaves twenty-three grandchildren, and a host of friends.
Having been born of a Quaker parentage, it gave him a birthright in the Quaker church, but on account of no Quakers in this pioneer country he united with the Methodist church at Maple Grove, of which he has been a member until the time of his death. He never tired of living an upright life and the memory of the beautiful and happy home of childhood is the richest legacy any person can leave their children.
How sweet the thought,
That ever wave,
But bears us nearer heaven.
There we shall meet when life is
o'er.
In that blessed home to part no
more.
The funeral services were held Tuesday, Nov. 4th, at 2:30 p. m. at the Methodist church at Guss, conducted by Rev. L. B. Carpenter, assisted by Rev. Paul H. Hicks. The pallbearers were four grandsons and two nephews.
