Failing in health since September 27 last, Andrew N. “Mack” Standerford, aged 79 years, sufferer from heart trouble and complications, died at his late home, 624 West Taylor street, Monday morning at 10:25 o’clock. Mr. Standerford became unable to leave the house December 1 last, and had been bedfast four weeks to a day when the death summons come.

The funeral will be held at the U. B. church, Wednesday afternoon at 2 o’clock, conducted by the Rev. M. H. Garrard, pastor of the Main Street Christian church, assisted by the Rev. S. A. Wells, pastor of the First U. B. church. The deceased had been a member of the Disciples church practically a life time and died implicit in the faith which had cheered and sustained him all the trying times of life. The burial will follow in Crown Point cemetery.

Mr. Standerford was a native of North Carolina, being born (in Forsyth County), that state, August 5, 1850, and was a mere boy when brought to Windfall. He was a son of Andrew and Sarah Standerford and descended from a sterling type of southern people and represented the substantial qualities of his ancestors. He was faithful in every avenue of life’s endeavor, honest and industrious, and devoted in his friendships.

Mr. Standerford was twice married, his first wife being Minerva Benson, whom he married December (25), 1875 and who died December (11), 1904.

Mr. Standerford’s second wife was Clara Tolle to whom he was married October 31, 1915, and who survives him.

Children of the first marriage surviving are a daughter, Mrs. Edna Rhinebarger, and three sons, Robert, Glen, and Fred.

By occupation Mr. Standerford was a carpenter and he was conscientious in his labors as well as skillful. For a number of years he was janitor of the Christian church in which labors he found a personal satisfaction, believing the he “had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of the Lord than dwell in the tents of the wicked.”
