E. T. Andrews (Edwin Truman)
Obituary: Lemhi Herald, Salmon, ID 24 Sept 1910 Pg 1, col 4
Another pioneer has departed, and a good man is gone. Last Friday noon came the end of earthly things to Edwin Truman Andrews. After months and months of suffering, the end came peaceful and calm, as a true Christian yields the soul to his maker. Mr. Andrews was born in NY state in 1844. In 1866 he was married to Miss Julia Andrews in WI and together the couple came to Salmon in 1874 (could be 1871). They have lived here ever since, excepting a very short period of residence years ago in Montana. They settled upon a ranch one mile north of the town and here their son, Frank, was born.
Two years ago this fall, Mr. Andrews, being troubled with rheumatism, he and his wife took a trip to Los Angeles, in the hope of improvement in health. It was while there, about 20 months ago athat he was stricken with paralysis, losing the use of one limb. Ever since that day, and until his death, he was a helpless invalid. He suffered a good deal, and his life was no item of enjoyment to him. Carefully and painstakingly, his devoted wife and friends tried to help his condition and to ease his sufferings. Geo. A. Martin every day drove him out in a carriage or wheeled him about town in his chair. But no cure was for him, here below, and the end came as a great relief to him.
He leaves many relatives to mourn his departure. William S. Andrews is his brother, and Mrs. N.I. Andrews and Mrs. Eli Minert are his sisters. The funeral was conducted at the house on Sunday morning at ten o'clock, Rev. Barnstable of the Methodist church officiating.
The deceased was a good man in every sense of the word. As a citizen, no one could have been more patriotic or faithful. He was honest, generous, and kind hearted, patient and sympathetic. He loved his family and his neighbors and every kind and generous act was second nature to him. His life has been such that no word of aspersion or reproach can be cast against him. And thus he will be remembered.
