Mrs. C. P. Andrews Answers Call
On Friday morning, May 12, all that was mortal of Mrs. Charles P. Andrews ceased to exist, and her immortal soul took its flight into the mysterious beyond. She had suffered much for several months and at times it seemed she could hardly survive a few days, then her better condition would cause her hope to rise and it seemed she would get up. But when Death has marked a human being the skill of trained medical treatment is of no consequence, save an as an after satisfaction of knowing that all that could be done was done for the loved one. Surely all that skill and love could do was done for this good woman and mother.

The funeral was held from the M. E. Church Saturday, at 2 p. m., there being a large turn out of sorrowing friends and relatives. Rev. Mulcahy preached a most sincerely sympathetic sermon. The music was furnished by a mixed chorus and there were a number of beautiful floral tributes. The remains were laid to rest in the Oakland Cemetery. The following obituary was read:

Abbie G. Housel was born January 2, 1858, near Isabel, Ill. She was married to Charles P. Andrews on January 1st, 1879. Into this home there came six children, Roy, roscoe, Jennie, Edyth, and Pearl, all of whom are living. One daughter Anna passed on beyond in June 1908.

Before her marriage she was converted at the United Brethern Church near Isabel, with which church she united. Her husband at the the time of their marriage was also a member of this church. This was their church home until 1892 when they united with the United Episcopal church at Hume and later transferred their membership to this church. Mrs. Andrews was a devout Christian woman, loyal to her church. She was an attendant in the Sunday school of this church and the Sunday preceding the beginning of her illness was in the Sunday school and church service, coming at the close of the latter service and asking that their church letters be made ready for them as they expected to move to a new home in Missouri. but a Providence, mysterious at times, yet kind and Allwise, overruled all earthly plans and on May 12, after an illness extending through three months she was not, for God took her.

This family circle is broken again, and after walking the way of this life together for over thirty-two years, the husband remains, this side of the Gates together with their two sons and three daughters.

The earthly life of this Christian woman, wife and mother, as measured by the standard of man, was fifty-three years, four months and ten days, but time is passed and she lived in eternity, which had no beginning and has no end.

Of the children, Roy, Roscoe, Edyth and Pearl were here to attend the funeral, Jennie being in Wyoming.

Besides the husbans and children, two brothers, Jacob Housel of Brocton and William Housel of Mt. Carmel, and two sisters, Mrs. William Ashmore of this city and Mrs. W. B. Brading of Olney survive to mourn the death of Mrs. Andrews. The sisters and brothers all attended the funeral. Mrs. and Mrs. O. K. Burton of Champaign also attended the funeral.

The Messenger extends sincere sympathy to all.
