During the early morning hours of July 5th John M. Andoe departed this life into his eternal, home.  He was a patient suffer of tuberculosis for several years, the last seven months being confined to his bed.  He lived to the age of 68 years and 2 months.  He was born in Tennessee but when only a child his parents moved to Missouri where he continued to live until his death.  He was very ambitious and considered a good business man, especially so as a farmer and stockman.  He has two wives and six children who have proceeded him in death.  A wife, three daughters, Mrs. Lou Edwards, Mrs. Artha Blasingame of Baxter and Mrs. Gertie Wilson of Reeds Spring, three sons, Teddie, Johnine and Dewey of Reeds Spring, survive him.  He enlisted for Christ when young and always donated liberally to his church.  During the last six years of his life he was an active member of the Missionary Baptist church at Key Stone near his home at Reeds Spring.  He realized a few months previous that his earthly life was limited and made his will and arranged his earthly affairs so he would have nothing to regret.  He said "I'm satisfied to go now and I thank the Lord that he has let me live to see my children men and women."  He said to his wife and children, "Do not worry and grieve for me for I will soon be at peace and rest with pa and ma."  Although his death was expected it came very sudden to his family.  He called for his three sons and asked them to raise him up and while in his son Teddies, arms, he passed away without a noticeable physical movement.  His wife and children and youngest sister, two nieces and two nephews were at his bedside, when the end came.  His remains were laid to rest in the McCollough cemetery, near his old home, on White River.  Besides his wife and children, he leaves four sisters, three brothers and a host of other relatives and friends to mourn his departure.

Weep not dear ones, although his voice you will hear no more, but gladly look forward to the time when you can meet him on yonders green shore.
