Elder Seth Andrews died at his home in Bristol Township on the morning of September 30th. He was born near the same place, June 7th, 1818. Mr. Andrews lived twelve years near Salem, Indiana, and five in Marietta, Ohio; the rest of his long life was spent in this county.
Nearly sixty ago he taught his first district school and until the meridian of his life his winters were spent in this vocation. for the last thirty years he has been a faithful elder and minister in the Christian church, of which he has been a consistent member more than half a century.
Very many persons in this county will remember with gratitude his kindly words of christian instruction and encouragement, coming as they did from a hear whose delight was in the law of the Lord. His words carried conviction with them because they were illustrated by a daily walk which was a living epistle of unselfish devotion to principle.
Last Monday his body was laid to rest in the cemetery near the graves of his brothers, his parents and his grandfather. Mr. Andrews was the father of Professor Martin R. Andrews of Marietta. He leaves six children - two sons and four daughters, and a widow. (McConnelsville Herald)
