August 1952 — Family Reunion. Golden Andrus, a prominent North Fremont resident, is a descendant of Milo Andrus.

Milo, son of Rufus and Azuha Smith Andrus, was born March 6, 1814, in Essex county, New York. He joined the LDS church in 1833. The greater part of his life was spent in church activity. He filled seven missions. Upon his return from England as a missionary, he was chosen captain over fifty-five emigrant wagons that came from Kansas City to Salt Lake City.

He was sent to St. Louis in 1851 to preside over the stake.

Upon his second mission to England he returned with seven hundred Saints and captained nine hundred converts to Florence, Nebraska. At this point in the trip, he was appointed captain of an emigrant company of sixty-six wagons that arrived in Salt Lake City, September 1861.

His wife, Ann Brooks, walked across the plains so that her grand piano could be brought on the wagon to Utah in 1855. This piano is now in the Daughters of the Utah Pioneers building in Salt Lake City.

Descendants of Milo Andrus held a two-day family reunion in Ashton August 1 and 2. Nearly two hundred descendants were expected to attend the event, according to Golden, who was chairmen of the event. —From the files of the Post-Register (Idaho Falls, Idaho), Wednesday, July 30, 1952, Page 5
