1931 Saratoga Springs directory: Charles Bradley Andrus died June 26, 1930
The Saratogian newspaper, Thursday June 26, 1930. Former District Attorney Andrus Dies In Hospital.
Widely Known Political Leader Wages Loosing Battle Against Illness. Long in Public Life.
Held Office of District Attorney for Nearly Ten Years.
Charles B. Andrus, fifty-nine years old, district attorney of Saratoga county for many years, and widely known throughout northern New York as an attorney and political leader, died this morning at 1 o'clock at the Saratoga Hospital after an illness of little more than a week. Although he made a courageous fight against an illness which was critical from the first, it rapidly became apparent that his condition was hopeless. The immediate cause of death was a heart attack which developed a week ago today following an emergency operation for the removal of a ruptured appendix performed on the night of June 17. Mr. Andrus was active in the political life of the city and the county for a period of more than thirty-two years. Known as an energetic campaigner, he was repeatedly elected to office, and during the fractional split in the Republican party some years ago he won three hard-fought battles for renomination as district attorney against the Republican organization. It was only after nine years that he was finally defeated for this office.
Although he was born in Amsterdam on March 3, 1871, he had spent practically all his life in Saratoga Springs. He was the son of Eugene A. and Anna G. Gould Andrus and came of a pioneer Scotch family in this country which dates back to Elisha Andrus, his great-grandfather, who resided in Madison county. Eugene A. Andrus was for many years Chief of D. and H. railroad detectives here.
Mr. Andrus was educated in the public schools of Saratoga Springs, and then entered Albany Law School, from which he was graduated in 1894. Opening an office here he began the practice of his profession on May 10, 1924 (sic)
Politics appealed to him early in life, and on March 8, 1898 he was elected a justice of the peace. This was at the time the present city was operating under the old combination of village and town government. Subsequently he was elected to this office several times, often in years when he was the only successful Republican candidate. Subsequently he was elected police justice, an office he held for nine years until the village form of government was superseded by the present city. At the special election in 1915 he was elected city judge, the first under the new charter.
He had served only two and a half years of his term when he was appointed district attorney by Governor Whitman to fill the unexpired term of County Judge Lawrence B. McKelvey, who resigned to accept appointment to the office he now holds. His appointment as district attorney was followed by three bitterly fought but successful fights for renomination. His services as district attorney therefore embraced a continuous period of nearly ten years, from 1917 until 1926.
Mr. Andrus was active in many organizations. He was a member of the Saratoga County Bar Association, the First Methodist Episcopal church, a charter member of Saratoga Lodge of Elks, and a member of the Odd Fellows and the Knights of Pythias.
On September 12, 1900 he married Gertrude A. Long, daughter of Lucius and Sarah Dean Long, of this city, who survives him with a daughter, Mrs. Charles V. Kihlmire of Schenectady.
Friends may call at the home, 181 Circular street, until 10 o'clock Saturday morning, when the body will be taken to the Kark Funeral Home, at Lake avenue and Circular street, in preparation for funeral services, which will be conducted at 2:30 o'clock Saturday afternoon at the funeral parlors. The Rev. Paul Morrison, pastor of the Methodist Episcopal church, will officiate. Burial will be in the family plot in Greenridge cemetery.
The Saratogian newspaper, Saturday June 28, 1930. All of County Represented at Andrus Funeral.
Present and former public officials in large numbers from all parts of Saratoga County were at the Kark Funeral Home, Lake avenue, this afternoon to pay final tribute to Former District Attorney Charles B. Andrus, whose funeral was held there at 2:30 o'clock. There were a great many floral offerings, principally from the many men who had become friends of the well-known attorney during the years he served his town, city and county as a public official.
Music for the services was furnished by the Bethesda Quartet and there were delegations from the Saratoga County Bar Association, Saratoga Lodge of Elks, the Knights of Pythias and the Odd Fellows.
The Rev. Paul Morrison, pastor of the First Methodist Episcopal church, of which the deceased was a member, and the Rev. Rolland N. Dutton, pastor of the First Baptist church, officiated at the services and the bearers were Gilbert T. Seelye, Burnt Hills; Dr. Nicholas C. Powers, Clarence B. Kilmer, Sr., Edward D. Eddy, John M. Corey and Dr. Frederick J. Resseguie. Burial was in Greenridge cemetery.

Charles B. Andrus, son of Eugene A. and Anna (Gould) Andrus, was born in Amsterdam. N.Y. March 3, 1871. He received his literary education at the Saratoga High school and took a full course in the Albany Law School, from which he was graduated in 1894. On May 10 of that year he was admitted to the bar and soon after opened his law office in Saratoga Springs. He has been successful in his profession and although but a young man has quite a large clientage. Mr. Andrus is a Republican in politics and is very popular. In the spring of 1898 he was elected justice of the peace for a term of four years by a majority of 472. This is particularly noteworthy, taking into consideration the fact that the Democrats carried most of the offices and the Republican supervisor had only ninety majority. Mr. Andrus entered upon the duties of this office January 1, 1899. The Andrus family is of Scotch extraction, but the verified history of the family in America commences with Elisha Andrus, great grandfather of Charles B. Andrus. He was an old time hatter and was known as "the Hatter of Madison county," in which he lived. His son, John B., was also a native of that county and was father of Eugene A.
