Funeral Party - En Route Here From Arkansas - Dick Andrews is Dead - Son of Hazel Andrews
Died at Stuttgart, Arkansas - Remains to Arrive Tonight
Dick Andrews, eldest son of Hazel C. Andrews, who removed from here to Arkansas about
two years ago, is dead, the result of a several years' illness with dropsy. The sad
news was received here this morning in a telegram which read as follows:
Stuttgart, Ark., Aug. 21. Lew Wise, Decatur.
Dick is dead. We are on the way. Tell City and Zwick to meet the Clover Leaf train
Thursday evening. Funeral Friday at two p.m. Tell all the folks. H. C. Andrews
The deceased is about twenty-eight years old and popular among his large circle of
friends here. He has suffered from poor health for several years, but the change to
Arkansas seemed to benefit him greatly for some time. Recently it was learned that his
health was failing again, still this message caused a severe shock. The telegram gives
all the information that is known at this time. It is supposed that the death occurred
early yesterday morning and the message was probably delayed on account of poor service
during the telegraphers' strike.
