Obituary – Published 10 August 1905
Andrew Martin Barstow was born in Zanesville, Ohio, October 19, 1829, and died in Hutchinson, Kansas, August 4, 1905; aged 75 years, 9 months and 15 days.
He was converted in St. Louisville, Licking county, Ohio, in 1852, and united with the M. E. church and continued to be an earnest, consistent member until his departure to his eternal home.
He removed to Farmington, Illinois, in 1864, and to Little River, Kansas, in 1880, and to Hutchinson, Kansas, about seventeen years ago, where he resided at the time of his death.
He was the father of nine children, three of whom preceded him to the glory world. He was an active member of the church of his choice, freely giving of his means to assist her material prosperity, often being so liberal in his contribution to the church that his pastor would rebuke him for his too liberal donations. His answer would be, "The church hath need of this." He realized that he was only one of the Lord's stewards and that in giving to maintain the interests of the church he was simply giving back to the Lord that which belonged to Him. He was president of the board of trustees and class leader at the time of his death. His pastor spoke in the highest terms of his efficiency in these official relations. Thus he was in the active service when the end came. He ever sought as class leader to increase the spirituality of the church by encouraging all to participate in the various means of grace, knowing that without the Spirit of Christ we are none of His.
He was a neighborly neighbor, ever believing in Christ's injunction to love our neighbor as himself. He was a kind husband and father, being devoted to wife and family. For fifty-three years he had been preparing for his exit from this world, and when the time came he was prepared to go. He longed to see the conversion of all his children and his daily prayer was that they might accept Christ as their personal Savior. May his prayer be answered, and may they make an unbroken family in heaven.
He leaves a wife and six children to follow him to the better world.
Funeral services were held in the M. E. church at Little River, at 3:30 p. m., Saturday, August 5th, conducted by Rev. I. A. Bartholomew, of Hutchinson, and Rev. J. A. Holmes. His body was laid in the Bean cemetery by the side of his father and mother.
The bereaved family have the sympathy of many friends.
