Willard P. Andrus is Dead
News of the death Sunday, in Portland, his home for a number of years, of Willard P. Andrus, has touched with grief members of the Hood River Commandery of Knights Templar, which Mr. Andrus, a former local resident, was instrumental in organizing. The Commandery will adopt resolutions of respect, according to Commander Laraway. Mr. Andrus, who is survived by a daughter, Mrs. Clarence N. Swager, of Minneapolis, Minn., and two sons, Rev. J. C. Andrus, and Col. E. P. Andrus, of Syracuse, N. Y., was 69 years old.
Seeking relief from asthma, Mr. Andrus, formerly a druggist, came to the Coast from Minneapolis a number of years ago. About 11 years ago he came to Hood River, hoping to be benefited by the climate. While here he was associated for a short time with Jesse Nichol in the undertaking business.
Mr. Andrus was in Hood River about three years. Active as a Mason he was perhaps responsible to a greater extent than any other in securing the local Commandery. A change of climate again becoming advisable, Mr. Andrus returned to Portland. For the past several years his time was chiefly devoted to Masonic work. He was one of the principal organizers of Imperial Lodge, A. F. & A. M., becoming the lodge's secretary.
