02 Apr 1875 Liberty Tribune (Liberty, MO):
Died March 21, 1875 at his residence near Barry, after a protracted illness, Andrew Gartin, aged 69 years. The deceased was born December 31st, 1805 in Greenbrier Co. VA. At the age of three years, he moved with his parents to Todd Co. KY where he married in 1828, and in October, about ten year later, moved to Clay Co. Missouri where he lived until his death. He was one of these iron willed men to whom no obstacle was too great to try to overcome; a man of indomitable energy, unflinching perseverance; actively engaged as a "trader" and at one time in his life amassed considerable fortune. As a "trader" and dealer in stock he was liberal to a fault and a man whose loss is deeply felt by the many who had business with him. Whatever may have been his faults and foibles, no one can justly say he ever intentionally wronged them or oppressed the poor, grinding them to the dust with low prices when they were necessitated to sell; but he paid liberally for that in which he speculated. Kind, generous and hospitable; his place in the community will be hard to fill. In his impulsive generosity and friendship, he unfortunately endorsed largely for his friends before the war, and then in the great revolution he paid thousands on security debts, reducing his once fine estate to almost nothing. Thus pass away the "old Pioneers" who having developed the vast resources of our country, leave their footprints, labors and acts as monuments of industry, energy and perseverance to be remembered and imitated by future generations. He died peacefully, resignedly trusting in a compassionate Savior with the assurance that "whosoever shall call upon the Lord shall be saved." Let us throw the mantel of charity over the foibles, and imitate his virtues, energy, perseverance, generosity and hospitality.
