OBITUARY
-----
Henry Davis Andrews, was born in Stokes county, North Carolina, October 31, 1807, and died February 18, 1887, age 79 years, 3 months and 18 days. He came to Shelby county at the age of 13, where he has ever since resided. He was married to Anna Price in 1842, who only lived 22 days after their marriage. His second wife was Julia Ann Campbell, who died April 17, 1861. Five children survive her, Mrs. John Parrish, Mrs. Belle Hoop, Mr. Henry Douglas Andrews, Mrs. Emma Walker, Miss Rosalie Andrews, all residing in Shelby county except Mrs. Emma Walker, who lives in Ohio. By his third wife, Nancy Odell, who survives him, he had one daughter, Miss Anna Andrews. He united with the Fairland Baptist church in 1880, under Rev. McDowell, and was a faithful member of that church up to the time of his death. He left a living testimony of his faith in Christ and often expressed a willingness and readiness to meet his God. The funeral services were conducted at his late residence in Moral township, amid a very large concourse of sorrowing relatives, friends and neighbors.
While the friends and relatives were taking a final view of the remains, “Sweet By and By” was sung by the choir, with Mr. John Tomlinson as leader, followed by “Garfield's Funeral March” with Miss Stella Robertson at the organ. After the usual exercises, funeral director Joseph Cummins, of Shelbyville, took charge of the remains and interred them in the Fairland cemetery.
Deceased was a patient sufferer for three years and was never heard to complain or murmur. The county had lost one of its best citizens, the neighborhood a genial neighbor and the family a devoted husband and loving father.

-----
We learn that a young man by the name of Wick Andrews, residing at London in this county, was found dead on the I.C. & L. R.R., about ¼ mile northwest of Fairland, on Thursday morning. His remains were completely mutilated by the cars which had passed over him in such a way as to destroy every means of recognition save his face, which was badly bruised. Various are the rumors about as to the probable cause of his death. Some think he started to walk home from Fairland on Monday night, but was to drunk to travel, and laid down on the railroad and was run over and killed by the cars. While others think he was killed and afterwards placed on the track so the cars would mangle his remains in such a manner as to banish any suspicion of foul. However, we are not able to throw any light on the subject.
