Andrews/Scherer
by Capt. David G Smith, USN Ret.
I have William E.. Scherer as born 1858 and died 1919. Also, his sister Matilda, who married Perry P. Andrews (1847-1923), she was born 1849 and died 1924. Thus she was still living in 1919 and was probably the “Tillie” Andrews sister who survived William E. Scherer.
Also of note, the 1900 census for East Monroe Township lists William Sherer (sic) as being age 48 and born March 1852. The census also indicates two of four children were living - the two deceased having been buried in the Smith Cemetery adjacent to William.
Wonder what the date of William’s death was in December?
