History of the Wyoming Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church. New York: Eaton & Mains, 1904, pages 148-149. ________________________________________________ ANDREWS, GEORGE CLINTON, was born in Salem, Wayne County, Pa., on September 30, 1840. He was converted in his twenty-second year, and the Beach Pond Quarterly Conference gave him local preacher's license in 1863. During the years 1864-66 he attended Wyoming Seminary, but impaired health prevented his completion of the course. Regaining health, he began his lifework, serving the following charges as supply: 1867, Herrick Center; 1869, Oregon; 1870-72, Lackawaxen. His health being poor, the Conference hesitated some time to receive him. His many good qualities so endeared him to the Conference that he was cheerfully received in 1873. On May 3, 1871, he married Mrs. Maria Westfall, widow of Rev. John Westfall, a local preacher who died in 1864 leaving two children. Mr. Andrews had no children. Failing health caused him to superannuate in 1879. On July 12 of that year he died of consumption, at Franklin Forks, Susquehanna County, Pa. His funeral was held at Franklin Forks, and his body was taken to Salem, Pa., for burial. His widow is now living at Milford, Pa. His pastorates were as follows: 1873-74, Pleasant Valley; 1875, Osborne Hollow; 1876-77, Triangle; 1878, Union Center; 1879, sd.
