IDALIA CITIZEN PASSES AWAY

The Grim Reaper visited the Idalia neighborhood last Thursday and called one 
of its esteemed citizens to rest.  Addison A. Andrews, who for the past 
eighteen years made his home there and has enjoyed the love and respect of all 
his neighbors and friends, was the one to fall before the sickle of the 
harvester, who in time gathers all to the Maker.

Mr. Andrews had been a sufferer from dropsy for some time, but had apparently 
recovered and was thought to be out of danger, when a change for the worse 
came and he was confined to his bed only a few days until death claimed him.  
Grandpa Andrews, as he was familiarly called by all his friends, and his 
circle of friends was the entire circle of his acquaintance, was loved by all 
who knew him and was a kind husband and father and a good neighbor and was 
ever ready with a helping hand for those who needed his help and sympathy.  
The respect in which he was held was shown by the large concourse of people 
who followed his earthly remains to their last resting place.

We miss the father everywhere;
  We miss thy loving face.
Thy chair is vacant by the hearth;
  There is none to fill thy place.

Safe in the arms of Jesus,
  Safe on His gentle breast,
Freed from a world of suffering,
  Christ has given the rest.
