Mary Ann Andrews.
Died--At her home near LaCrosse, Wednesday morning at 3 o'clock, Oct. 14, 1908, Mrs. Mary Ann Andrews, aged 84 years, 1 months and 14 days.
The sudden death of Mrs. Andrews was a shock to her friends and family. She retired Tuesday evening in her usual health and about 2:30 o'clock she called her [s]on, George, who saw at a glance her suffering and hastily summoned the home members of the family and a physician was called, but her death followed withing thirty minutes, before the doctor or neighboring children arrived.
Mrs. Andrews was born in England, Aug. 30, 1824 and came to America with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. James Cottle in 1843[.] She was married to Sardis Andrews, Feb. 4, 1844, and for nearly sixty years they journeyed together, toiling to establish a home in the early years, as pioneers of the new country had to, [sic] meet the exegencies [sic] of the early days, but were rewarded in their efforts and practice of frugality in gathering together a competence for the after years and the home of comfort was fully enjoyed and was ever one of the most hospitable in the land. Mr. Andrews died April 26, 1902 [sic]. They had lived at the present homestead for more than fifty years.
There were six children born to Mr. and Mrs. Andrews, four of whom survive their mother. They are: Minerva Dorothy, of Blandinsville [Hire Township, not Blandinsville], Phoebe Dorothy, of Burnside and James and George, at the home.
The passing of Mrs. Andrews takes from the county one of the very early settlers, a worthy woman and a kind neighbor. The young and old, alike, found her companionable and enjoyed meeting her, holding her in the greatest esteem.
