JOHN F. ANDREWS
 
    God in his infinite wisdom and love has seen fit to take from our midst our 
beloved brother, John F. Andrews.  In his death the Masonic fraternity has lost 
one of its faithful members, the church one of its truest christians and his 
wife and children an effectionate and devoted husband and father.
    While we deep sympathize with the bereaved family in their great loss which 
is forever irreparable, yet we can point them for consolation to our Heavenly 
Father who doeth all things well.
    Brother Andrews was indeed a true christian.  What a sweet consolation to 
his family circle and friends to know that he awaits that welcome 
plaudit, "Well done thou good and faithful servant, enter thou into the joys of 
thy Lord.
    Brother was born Oct 12th, 1839 in Montgomery county, N.C., at or near 
Pekin and moved to Barbour co., Alabama in 1858; was married to Jane J. Burke, 
Feb. 14, 1880.  He joined the Missionary Baptist church in 1860 and became a 
member of the Masonic fraternity at Barnes Cross Roads in 1886 [blurry could be 
1866].
    He died July 3rd*, 1910 and was buried at Pinckard, Ala. the following day.
    The funeral services were held at the family residence by the Rev.J.W. 
Malone.  The interment was made with Masonic honors.
    Uncle John as he was familiarly known has paid the last debt.  He has 
passed through this veil of tears and the dark valley and shadow of death and 
is not basking in the light that encompasses the beautiful City of the New 
Jerusalem.  Uncle John has gone but never to be forgotten, for the divine 
graces and virtues which characterize his daily walk in life will live forever.
 Therefore---Be it resolved; that the members of Pinckard Masonic Lodge
extend to the family and relatives our heartfelt sympathy in their hours of 
affection.
    Second:  That a copy of these resolutions be spread on the minutes of this 
lodge and a copy be furnished the family of the deceased.
    Done by order of Pinckard lodge Number 611, AF and AM August 6th 1910.
