Death of Mrs. B.B. Andrews

In its appropriate place in today's Telegraph will be found the announcement of the death of Mrs. Burr B. Andrews which occurred from apoplexy at her late residence on S Broad Street at 5:30 Monday morning.

Lavinia Hammond was born in Norwich, November 29th, 1814, and was consequently 69 years of age. Her grandfather, Samuel Hammond, was one of the original settlers of this village and came here from Connecticut in the latter part of the 18th century. She was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William R. Hammond and was born in the old house at the right of N. Broad St. at the summit of the hill.

As a young lady, Mrs. A. was noted for her beauty and winning disposition. On September 11th, 1837, she was united in marriage to Burr B. Andrews by Elder Burrows an Episcopal clergyman who will be well remembered by many of our older residents.

Mrs. Andrews was a quiet companionable woman, mistress of her own household and in the highest sense a true confiding wife and prudent mother. While her home was the center of her solicitude and watchful care and where her excellent qualities shone forth brightest and best, she was not unmindful of the wants of the needy and suffering those less fortunate than herself. Many hearts have been made glad by her indifference and many households cheered by her kindly presence and encouraging words in times of darkness in sore distress. Her ways were unostentatious, but she possessed the heart and character of a true woman, and as far as she was able live to do good. Her many acts of kindness will long be remembered after the hand that bestowed them shall have moldered into dust. During all her long period of suffering, which dates back for some time, she bore all with the bravery and fortitude of a true Christian. While she will be sadly missed in the community in which she has so long resided and where the ties of friendship and neighborly intercourse are so strongly cemented upon the immediate family, her life companion and children, the fatal blow falls with crushing weight. They will have the sympathy of all in their deep affliction. Aside from her husband she leaves behind three children, Henry Andrews of Brooklyn, W.B. Andrews and Belle, wife of H.J. Daniels of this village. The funeral will be attended from her late residence Wednesday at 2:00 PM.

"then fell upon the house a sudden gloom
a shadow on those features fair and thin,
and softly, from that hushed and darkened room,
Two angels issued where but one went in"
