A Christadelphian.

Family moved from Alabama after the War, and Thomas was in Comanche, Texas with parents per 1870 Census.

LEAKEY (Tex.).—It becomes my sad and painful duty to announce to faithful members of the one body, the world over, through our only channel of communication with each other—the Christadelphian—the sorrowful news of the falling asleep in Jesus of our well-beloved brother T. B. Andrews, of the Wallace Creek eccelsia, on Monday night, the 19th inst. Brother Andrews had been for many years a great sufferer from a painful and incurable malady… Brother Andrews was buried on Tuesday, the 20th inst., the brethren of Wallace Creek ecclesia doing what was necessary at the grave. Our brother left a sister-wife and six children—four girls and two boys—to mourn his loss... We are trying to hold forth the word of life to the alien, in our new field of labour, with but little encouragement or signs of success visible, but duty impels us to persevere in the work of sowing the good seed, whether they hear, or whether they forbear.—JOHN BANTA.
