"The Sabbath Recorder", Vol 89, No 6, p 190, Aug. 9, 1920.

Andrew North was born at Princeton, Ill., December 7, 1850, and met his untimely death in a runaway accident at New Auburn, Wis., July 11, 1920, at the age of 69 years, 7 months 6 days.

His parents were Andrew and Anna Viborg North who moved to the vicinity of St. Peter [Minn.] when Andrew was a small boy. He was married to Etta Harrison, December 27, 1881, at Trenton, Minn. To them were born three sons: Leon Harrison, of Milton, Wis., Arthur Merton and Ray Clifton, both of New Auburn, Wis. These sons, and their bereaved mother, together with his brothers, Eric, of Glenwood, Mo., Chris, of South Dakota, and sister Mrs. D. T. Rounsville, of Dodge Center, Minn., survive him to mourn their sad loss.

Early in manhood he became a Christian and was baptized by Elder J. E. N. Bacchus [Backus]. For many years he was a faithful and useful member of the Dodge Center, Seventh Day Baptist Church from which he was only recently disassociated by joining the church of like faith at New Auburn, Wis.

His life always bright and cheerful, consistent and well grounded has been an inspiration to many and helpful to all who knew him.

Besides the loss to his family of a loved one, and to his neighbors of a friend, the church has sustained the great loss of an active worker, supporter and leader, and the community the loss of the best type of its citizenship and manhood.

Farewell services were conducted at the home farm, New Auburn, Wis., by Pastor H. C. Van Horn of Dodge Center, and the remains laid to rest in the local cemetery.
