Son of Peter Andreas & Mary Geist
Obit from IL Genealogy Trails website:
PHILLIP ANDREAS, a well known retired farmer and a resident of Sterling township for 63 years, passed away this morning at 5 o'clock at his home, 607 West Fourth street, after a long illness. Mr. Andreas suffered a stroke of paralysis two years and seven months ago and had never recovered his health and strength since that time. About a month ago he suffered a second stroke and he failed gradually since that time, a third stroke yesterday hastening the end, which was peaceful and apparently free from suffering. He was in a semi-conscious condition from Monday [04/16/1928] afternoon until the end.
When he was a boy of 12 years Mr. Andreas came west from his native county of Lancaster, Pa., in 1865, and since that time he made his home continuously in Sterling township. He was a prominent farmer of the eastern part of the township for many years and did not retire and move to Sterling until a year ago. He was united in marriage 53 years ago to Miss Eugenia E. Johnson of Sterling, who survives him. Three sons and three daughters also survive, as follows: Earl Andreas, of Rock Falls, Van and Eaton Andreas, Mrs. Lily Coats, Sterling; Mrs. E. B. Zimmerman and Mrs. David Peck, both of Atalissa, Iowa. He also leaves 20 grandchildren and four great-grandchildren, two brothers [remainder not copied]. -- Contributed by Larry Reynolds - The Sterling Daily Gazette, April 17, 1928
