Andrew Brough, one of the oldest and most esteemed citizens of East Berlin, died 
after a long illness, of the infirmities of old age, in his 81st year.

Andrew Brough was born on a farm near East Berlin, December 18th, 1817.  Reared 
as a farmer, he was actively engaged in that vocation until 1875, when he 
retired and moved to the house where he died.  He was married January 16th, 1845, 
to Miss Eve Harbold, who died June 20th, 1846.  From this union one daughter was 
born, who now is Mrs. Jacob L. Leas, of near East Berlin.

January 17th, 1850, he was married to Miss Catharine A. Arnold, who survives him.  
To them two children were born, John H. Brough, of Hanover, and O. Alice, who 
died June 26th, 1890.

Deceased was one of the most widely known and highly respected citizens of that 
section.  For many years he was a member of the German Baptist Brethren church.  
He looked forward to the end with the blessed hope that he was entering into 
eternal rest.  Truly his end was peace.

The funeral took place on Sunday morning, at 10 o’clock, from the house.
