Dr. Andre Dead. Dr. Victor J. Andre, mention of whose illness was made in our last issue, died at his home in this city Sunday morning at 10:25 after an illness of several months.
While in poor health for some time his death came as a shock to his family and friends. He had been suffering from a cold and as late as Saturday afternoon his illness was not regarded as serious.
Pneumonia developed during the night, Saturday and in his weakened condition he was unable to withstand its ravages and the end came peacefully Sunday morning in the presence of his wife and a few close friends.
The Masonic Lodge conducted brief services at the house Tuesday morning and Hon. Virgil Greene, longtime friend and intimate associates of the deceased, delivered a beautiful and touching eulogy after which the body was taken to his boyhood home, Sainte Genevieve, Mo., and interment made that afternoon in Valley Springs Cemetery.
Dr. Andre is survived by his wife, a sister, Mrs. Annie Johnson, of New York City and three nephews, Bernays Johnson, of Newark, New Jersey; Anthony and Carroll Johnson, both of New York City.
Active pallbearers were I. Harwrag, W. H. Beebe, H. J. Hale, W. T. Toole, E. E. Murff and A. S. Rogers. Honorary pallbearers were: S. M. Hodges, Virgil Greene, J. W. Quinn, George Abrey, Fred G. Patterson, R. C. Rose, E. L. Porter, Walter W. Driver, W. L. More, Ben Greene, J. B. Mitchell, Terry Mitchell, S. L. Gladish, John Douglas, Clay Errors, Ed. L. Quinn, Arthur G. Brickey and O. M. Fairley.
Dr. Andre was a man of unusual abilities and was descended from a prominent family of St. Genevieve, Mo. he was the son of Dr. Murray’s Andre and Clementine Bernays Andre of the Bernays family prominent in St. Louis and Missouri affairs for several generations.
He was recognized as one of the ablest veterinarians in the country; was a graduate of the Toronto, Canada, veterinary college; and served throughout the Spanish-American war with government forces in the Philippines. His acquaintance with men prominent in public affairs of that time was extensive and he enjoyed the respect and friendship of many men of more than an international reputation.
Soon after the close of the Spanish-American war he came to Osceola and began the practice of his profession which continued until the day of his death.
He served his city as a member of the city counsel and was also coroner of the county.
March 22, 1922, he was married to Miss Emma Strickland, of Beebe, Arkansas, and with the exception of a year spent at Morrilton, Arkansas, Dr. and Mrs. Andre have made their home in this city. He recently erected a fine modern home and had barely gotten settled in this home when the final summons came.
The sympathy of a host of friends goes out to Mrs. Andre in her hour of sorrow.
