April 25, 1847 - November 24, 1921
*Obituary
On the morning of November 24, 1921, the Death Angel visited C. M. Andres and took from our midst a loving wife and a sainted mother. Mrs. Andres was born in Shelby county, Tenn., April 25, 1847. She lived there until one year old, then moved to Haywood county, Tenn., lived there eight years, and on December 1, 1856 she moved with her parents Mr. and Mrs. A. H. Waddle to Arkansas, there settled on the place where she died. She professed faith in Christ at the age of fifteen years and joined the Methodist church. In 1901 joined the Holliness Baptist church, where she lived an active and devoted Christian, always ready to help bear the burdens of the church, ready to do what she could for the cause of Christ, and for the salvation of the lost. On October 1, 1870 she was married to C. M. Andres. To them were born six boys and one girl, who so tenderly and lovingly stood by her bedside during her illness and did everything that could be done by humans. But Jesus said its enough, come up higher, weep not dear one for mother, but prepare to meet her, where parting comes no more, no pain, no tears, for God will wipe away all tears. We will live with her throughout the ceaseless ages of eternity. She was taken sick November 14, often expressing her desire to depart from this world and go home to Jesus. She was patient in her suffering, telling her friends and loved ones that she soon would be at rest. She called her children to her bedside and each promised to meet her in the great beyond. She leaves a husband, six boys, one girl, three brothers, two sisters, a host of friends and relatives to mourn their loss. But some sweet day on yonder shore, where all life's toils are o'er we will clasp dear mother's hand, where parting is no more. Mrs. J. F. Smith (Nevada County Picayune - December 22, 1921)
