Albert P. Andrews was born in Cherry Valley, Ohio, April 1, 1840 and died at his home in South Wayne, Wis., April 21, 1908, at the age of 68 years and 20 days. When five years of age he came with his parents to Wayne, Wis., where he lived for more than 63 years; with the exception of a few years at Winslow and Warren, Ill.
At the age of 27 he married Mrs. Louisa Webster Black, who survives him. In 1874 they took into their home Lottie Hocking and later her children, of whom Bessie Jenkins remained to be the comfort of his last years.
In 1862 he joined the Wayne Free Baptist Church and was one its most faithful members.
He was one of the trustees of the organization from the time of the erection of the new church building in the village of South Wayne, in 1896. One year later he was elected Deacon, and during the last ten years of his life did more than any other person for the care of his church property.
Albert Andrews was the son of Anson and Lucy Pease Andrews. He was the fifth of a family of 12 children, of whom only three survive him: Joel Andrews, Mrs. Seymour Webster, and Philo Andrews, all of South Wayne.
Mr. Andrews; always a busy man about his home, his garden, and the church, did his usual work about the church on Sunday, Jan. 5, but before the week was ended, he was lying upon a bed of sickness which for 3 1/2 months he only left for an hour or so at a time.
When mother earth began to put on her garb of green Mr. Andrews friends hoped that strength to get out and enjoy the springtime might return, but on Saturday, April 18, though he breakfasted in his sitting room as usual, before noon he was much worse and soon became unconscious. In this condition he remained, watched over by a loving wife and other relatives for three days, when his spirit was called hence by the God who gave it.
Short services were held at 1:30 PM on April 23rd at the home, from whence Ernest Hale, Willis, Arthur and John Andrews, Anson Crosby and Ed Chapman, nephews of the deceased, tenderly bore his flower bedecked casket to the church, which kind friends had, with potted plants, the dainty hepatica and other woodland treasures, made beautiful, as attribute to him who had given to it so many days of unselfish caretaking.
Rev. C.S. Carroll of the Warren Free Baptist church spoke on Life: Mortal and Immortal and gave many companies words to a large number of relatives and friends. The beautiful songs, Sweet Be Thy Rest, Gathering Home, Asleep in Jesus and the Christians Goodnight, were sweetly sung by Mr. and Mrs. Voss and Miss Arnot, whose voices have so many times some comfort to bereaved ones of Wayne.
A large number of carriages followed the remains to the Eastman cemetery where Interment was made. Among those attending the funeral from away where Mr. and Mrs. Horace Chapman and Mrs. Carroll of Warren, John Andrews of Madison, Mrs. Lucy Parsons of Martintown and Mrs. Nellie Barmore of Monroe.
