Notes: The roads the day of Andy's funeral were coated with ice and snow. He was 83yrs at death. Ed Siziers officated. When Andy and brother Dan were still at home, one night they had a terrifying experience. They were staying at home with their Mother and all heard something rolling down the stairs. At this time, the stairs going up to the bedrooms were all enclosed with a door which was shut. One of the boys grabbed the axe and they let the old dog, Rule, inside and grabbed things from the kitchen to defend themselves. They couldn't understand why the dog hadn't raised a ruckus because of the intruder. Anyway, they guarded the stairway door all night. The shelled corn rolling down the stairs all this time. Erieeee! About day light they heard the upstairs window open and heard someone hit the ground. It is still a mystery today. They never did find out who it was. They couldn't figure out why the dog never raised Cain either. Andrew married CLARK, Bessie Lee. Bessie was born on 6 Sep 1885; died on 1 Apr 1965. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart] |
