DEAD
Mrs. Florence Andrews Heard
Just about August 10, when the congressional convention assembled here, Florence Andrews, the wife of Hon. John T. Heard, was well and as much alive to the interests of her husband and as expectant and hopeful is he.
A handsome lady, commanding and noticeable in physique and affable in manner, she was a factor, and has been a factor in the political success and attainment of her talented and popular husband.
Just after the convention, August 10, she was stricken with a malady, that, at first, was regarded as indisposition, her husband believed it was nothing more and her physician regarded her prostration as nothing more than temporary.
She grew worse.
And then her devoted husband thought it best and was advised to take her home, to Boonville, Mo., to her mother.
There she lingered; never was it expected; but she died yesterday.
The malady that took her off, despite the most skillful medical attention and watchful care of husband, relatives, friends and nurses, was typhoid fever, Its progress was slow, but sure, and yesterday Florence Andrews Heard passed away.
The writer knew her as a little girl-a pretty, peach blossomed girl, great black eyes, and ringlets of black hair that were the admiration and love of every boy in the same schools she attended and with the best mark in her classes.
Her father, David Andrews, was and is from away back, one of the foremost, best and most sterling citizens of Boonville.
She was born and reared there, born 40 years ago, on September 7.
She was married to John T. Heard, our congressman on December 20, 1866. Of this marriage there was ---u-, and the child died in his infancy-Charles Stephens Heard.
Mrs. Heard, Florence Andrews, was a most exemplary girl, and as a wife she was the attached and devoted companion of her husband. She subordinated as all the Andrews have done, all to her husband, his family. A consistent christian, a member of the Methodist church, she lived up to and died in the full faith of a hereafter, having lived so well here.
The people of Boonville mourn her departure, her friends in Sedalia deplore her untimely taking off and the whole of Central Missouri sympathized with Hon. John T. Heard in his irreparable loss.
The funeral will take place in Boonville Thursday and her remains will be interred in Walnut Grove Cemetery.
This obit was taken from either the Boonville or Sedalia newspaper.
