    • An Aged Pilgrim Gone
      Death Friday of Mrs. H.V. Andres
      Passed Peacefully Away at Her Home Two and One Half Miles Northwest of Canton

      At a ripe old age, with a life record full of virtue, and beautiful upon all its pages, Mrs. Sarah Ellen, belived wife of Deacon H.V. Andrews, died this morning at four o'clock at her home, two and one-half miles northwest of Canton. It was a happy and peaceful passing away of an eged pilgrim, who as a pioneer wife and mother had in a most gracious manner measured up to the fond ideals of many loving hearts and left the impress of her goodly influence all along the way to life's eveing time.
      For 56 years, through all kinds of weather, through shadown and sunshine -- Mrs. Andres, as a model wife, stood by the side of her husband, now venerable in years. His trials were her trials; his sorrows her sorrows; his joys her joys; and his victories and triumphs her vistories and triumphs. In the morning time of their union, at its noon and evening, all along the way of life, they were lovers. Their hearts were linked together for the pilgrimage, and as each year entered in to their lives there also entered an increased love and devotion. Each with bliss filled the other's life. Each was the other's keeper, and as the years passed with them they found the stream of love the while growing deeper. Now one has entered the haven of rest, leaving the other to watch a little while longer for the coming of the reaper, but in the very nature of things the severance of the union will not be long extended.
      As the wife of the oldest pioneer settler of Fulton County Mrs. Andrews was in all respects a faithful and herois spirit, and to all who came in contact with her she was an inspiration of courage. While her life was one of christian faith it was also one christian living. While as a pioneer wife and mother she had in her heart the angel of inspiring faith she also tnertained as a royal guest the angel of charity. With a loving heart she did many loving deeds, and rendered loving service to many waery and needy souls.
      In her going and coming among her neighbors and friends she carried with her much of sunshine and sheer. Her ears were inclined to every voice of grief and when the call for charity was heard her warm and mother heart never for a moment to doubt, but the cry was promptly heeded. To do was a great part of her religion. Kindness and the aid of a helping hand was her heart creed.
      Sarah Ellen Shane was born march 25, 1820 in berkeley County, West Virginia, and was one of a family of eleven children. In 1836, she wither her parents, moved to Fort Clark, now Peoria. After a few years residence at that place the family moved to near where Brimfield now stands. She first met Henry V. Andrews in Peoria, she being at that time an inmate of the house of his sister, Mrs. Irene Fulton, and he being employed at the time as superintendant of the construction gang engaged in building what is now known as the Iowa Central Railroad. They were united in matrimony at Brimfield, February 25, 1840 and located near Princeville, where they lived one year, then moved to near Canton and settled on a farm owned by D.W. Barnes, a brother-in-law of Mr. Andrews. Part of the old log house in which they lived is still standing. Soon after moving to this vicinity Mrs. Andrews joined the Baptist Church, and during all these years up to the time of her departure from earth she was a devoted Christian woman, practicing her faith by kindly and generous work as the Prince of the House of David had taught.
      Ten children were born to them as follows: Herve L. Andrews, of Peoria; Mrs. Elizabeth Randolph, of this township; Kate who died in 1867; Mrs. Irene McKinney, of Morris, who died in 1893; David, who died in infancy; George B. and Abner, who reside in Canton; Frank and Corwin H., living northwest of Canton, and Mrs. Sadie Kruse, of Chicago.
      During the last thriteen years Mrs. Andrews had been in poor health but her strong constitution did not readily yield. ABout ten days ago, following a prolonged struggle, she became seriously ill, and to her friends it became apparent that the end was near at hand. Her devoted husband kept constnatly at her bedside and with a love that was beautiful to contemplate clung to her until her gentle spirit passed from home to home, administering as best he could in his feebleness to her every want. In grief the venerable man now bows his head. The loss to him is heavy. It one that has created a void that cannot be filled this side of the paradise of God. But the time for a reunited glory cometh and no doubt the aged pilgrim, left alone along the journey, in his faith that takes a hold of the kingdon can see the opening light from beyond the silver lining.
      The funeral will take place Sunday afternoon at 1:30 from the old homestead, teh Rev. Dr. Clatworthy, assisted by the Rev. mathes officiating. The interment will be at Greenwood.
