Winthrop S. Andrews, passed to the great beyond, August 4th, 1921, was
one of ten children of Eaton and Philozina* Andrews. He was born Oct.
27th, 1847 in New Lyme Township. When he was quite small his parents
moved to Jefferson, where he has always lived. Being a very useful
citizen. He was a carpenter and architect, and worked at his trade for
52 years. Many of the best homes in Jefferson were built by him. For
many years he served as health officer of the village. Doing his work
well. He was a good bible student. It was a pleasure to talk with him
on any passage of scripture, he would explain it so clearly.
He was married to Celestia Clark, Jan. 1st, 1866. To them were born
three children, Alta, who married William Bell, Ruth who married Frank
Louks and they reside in Hollywood, California. Louise married Rosco
Fox. They are living here in Jefferson. They adopted Mont Andrews who
lives in Cleveland. Alta died when a young mother, leaving two nice
boys, Homer and Archie. Their grandfather made a home for them until
they were able to maintain themselves, also another grandfather,
Winthrop Davis. These boys were a great comfort to their grandfather
who has been in feeble health for a number of years.
His wife survives him, also two brothers, Chas. and Reuben, and three
sisters, Mrs. T. W. Simmons and Mrs. H. C. Rood and a twin sister, Mrs.
Tom Wallace, who lives in Calif. He has seven grandchildren. He will be
much missed for he had a good word for everyone.
One by one earth's ties are broken,
As we see our love decay;
And the hopes so fondly cherished,
Brighten but to pass away.
One by one our hopes grow brighter,
As we near the shining shore;
For we know across the river,
Wait the love ones gone before.

DEATH OF MRS. MARION FRENCH
Occurred at Home of Mr. and Mrs. T. L. Webber
Mrs. Marion French, one of the oldest residents of this village, died
at the home of her friends, Mr. and Mrs. T. L. Webber on west Satin
Street, on Tuesday afternoon at 5 p.m. after eight days of
unconsciousness. Her passing was peaceful as in sleep. Mrs. French
would have been 90 years old on July 31, 1921. Her husband, Loren
French, preceded her many years ago.
Mrs. French was born in Lenox. For many years she lived on north
Chestnut street in the home owned by the editor, and it was our
pleasure as a small boy to visit Aunty French. There were always the
sweetest apples in her yard and both Mr. and Mrs. French enjoyed having
the small children of the neighborhood visit them. For several years
after her husband's death Mrs. French remained in the old home and
lived with the late J. E. Hurlburt and wife, as a member of the family.
For several years she made her home with Mr. and Mrs. Ed Ticknor.
Becoming unable to care for herself, Mr. and Mrs. T. L. Webber invited
her to spend the rest of her days with them. Mr. Webber, when a boy,
lived with Mr. and Mrs. French.
Although not a graduate of the local schools, Mrs. French was a member
of the first graduating class of which but one person survives, Mr. B.
J. Loomis of Buffalo, N. Y. Mrs. French was made an honorary member of
the local alumni.
The funeral of this gentlewoman will be held at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. T. L. Webber on Friday afternoon at 2 p.m., conducted by Rev. J.
A. Goodrich.
