Obituary
C.P. Andrews
Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord from henceforth, yea sayeth the Spirit, they rest from their labors. and their works do follow them. This can truly be said of the aged citizen, Columbus Pickney Andrews of Bells, who departed this life Sunday, December 13, 1925 at the home of his devoted daughter, Mrs. E. E. Emison. Bro. Andrews had lived to the ripe age of 89 years. He was born at Standing Rock, Stuart County, Tenn., October 8, 1836. He was married to marie E. Laurie and to this union were born nine children, four of which are now living, Ashley, David and Scott Andrews and Mrs. E. E. Emison.
He moved to bells and went into business under the name of Andrews & Dawson; having been of the finest Christian integrity from childhood he carried this principal into his business, which soon gained for him a measure of success; however his aim in life was never to be a money getter but to live a life that God and man could both honor. This he did and bequeathed to his children and friends a value far greater than anything else he might have given them. For some time before he died he was an invalid but he never seemed to carp or complain; courteous to the last, never forgetting to say, "thank you" for the least favor. Thus, he grew old, mellowed up in God, and was ready for the harvest home.
Just a few days before he died he said to his pastor: "I may get well, or I may not; but in either case it is well with me." Amidst a beautiful floral decoration surrounded by his four children, and relatives, and a host of friends, his body rested in the house of his Lord while the services were conducted by his pastoor, Rev. V. A. DeShazo.
Peace be to his pathetic dust, highest joy to thy enraptured spirit. Father, friend, farewell until we meet beyon the shadows.

Obituary
C.P. Andrews
Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord from henceforth, yea sayeth the Spirit, they rest from their labors. and their works do follow them. This can truly be said of the aged citizen, Columbus Pickney Andrews of Bells, who departed this life Sunday, December 13, 1925 at the home of his devoted daughter, Mrs. E. E. Emison. Bro. Andrews had lived to the ripe age of 89 years. He was born at Standing Rock, Stuart County, Tenn., October 8, 1836. He was married to marie E. Laurie and to this union were born nine children, four of which are now living, Ashley, David and Scott Andrews and Mrs. E. E. Emison.
He moved to bells and went into business under the name of Andrews & Dawson; having been of the finest Christian integrity from childhood he carried this principal into his business, which soon gained for him a measure of success; however his aim in life was never to be a money getter but to live a life that God and man could both honor. This he did and bequeathed to his children and friends a value far greater than anything else he might have given them. For some time before he died he was an invalid but he never seemed to carp or complain; courteous to the last, never forgetting to say, "thank you" for the least favor. Thus, he grew old, mellowed up in God, and was ready for the harvest home.
Just a few days before he died he said to his pastor: "I may get well, or I may not; but in either case it is well with me." Amidst a beautiful floral decoration surrounded by his four children, and relatives, and a host of friends, his body rested in the house of his Lord while the services were conducted by his pastoor, Rev. V. A. DeShazo.
Peace be to his pathetic dust, highest joy to thy enraptured spirit. Father, friend, farewell until we meet beyon the shadows.
CP Andrews had called his store Dawson & Andrews at one time (early on) because he had gone into business with his dear friend & brother in law, William Penn Dawson. William Penn Dawson was married to the sister of CP Andrews' wife Maria (Laurie). Her name was Isabelle Michauex( Laurie). The couples were very close and lived near each other in Bells, Tenn. Their children were all cousins because of the Laurie sisters. Interestingly, William Penn Dawson also came from Stewart County, Tn. and his family has a rich history there. William Penn Dawson's daughter, Mary Tarbell Dawson married a Hallum Wood Goodloe and they went on to become the toast of Nashville in 1911-1915. Hallum was Secretary of State reporting to the Governor. She was active in many ways, state historian, and she placed the first sign up for the Natchez Trace in Nashville.
Columbus reportedly enlisted November 28, 1861 after a scuffle involving a small Union Patrol, possibly to bury Rachel (Meroney) Dawson??? She was buried on September 30, 1861 in Jones Cemetery, Stewart County.
