DEATH OF JAMES H. ANDRUS
James H. Andrus passed away Tuesday night, at his home in this village, aged 
73 tears, 7 months and 7 days.
He was born in Ontwa township , on what is now known as the Sanders farm, on 
the north bank of Eagle lake, July 30th, 1837, and remained a resident of this 
township until 1860, when he went to Kansas, where he was united in marriage 
Oct. 7th of that year to Miss Cylinda Haring , who had moved to Kansas with 
her parents the same year. In 1862 Mr. Andrus returned with his family to 
Michigan, locating in Edwardsburg, but soon after moved to Mason Township and 
later to Calvin township. In 1869 the family  returned to Edwardsburg, where 
the subject of this sketch remained until the time of his death. He was the 
father of four children-Henry, of this place; Wm. Riley, of Michigan City, 
Ind.; George S., of Akron, O., and Cora M., who died in 1877. He also leaves 
one brother, Riley of Dayton, Oregon; one sister, Mrs. Porter Lybarker, of 
Mason township, and 6 grandchildren. Mrs. Andrus died Oct. 4th, 1903.
Mr. Andrus was a member of J. B. Sweetland Post G. A. R.
The deceased was quiet and unobtrusive, but was in every respect a reliable 
citizen and always true to his conceptions of duty. By his uprightness of 
character he won the regard of those among whom his entire life had been 
passed, and his sons and those who were best acquainted with him will continue 
to admire his kindly heart and generous impulses. He has passed to the spirit 
side of life, but we shall ever cherish the memory of our dead.
The funeral was held Thursday afternoon, at 2:30 o'clock, at the house. Rev. 
C. H. Anderson officiating, and the remains were laid to rest  in the 
Edwardsburg cemetery.
