MALADY is FATAL TO CHAS.
B. ANDROSS.


The following is taken from the
Marysville (Cal) Appeal of Nov
ember 1st:
Charles Bradstreet Andross, for
more than a quarter of century
one of the most prominent resi-
dents of Marysville, died at the
family home on E street yesterday
at lips am. When the end came
the wife and two sons, Porter and
Phil, were at the bedside. For
several months the deceased had
been inflicted with an incurable
malady that made fearful inroads
into his once strong and robust
system.
Last spring at the presidential
primary Mr.. Andross was elected
a delegate to the democratic ma
tional convention which assembled
at Baltimore late in June, and
prior to going he was operated on
at San Francisco. On recovering
from the effects of the operation
so devoted was he to the princi-
pies of the democratic party, that
he insisted on going to Baltimore
against the advice of some of his
friends. On returning from the
east it was necessary for him to
go to the hospital again for fur
Their treatment, and when he came
back to Marysville, some time lat
er, it was with the knowledge that
he could not survive the disease
that had eaten so insidiously into
his system. He never left the house
after his return, but calmly and
courageously prepared for the end.
Charles B. Andross was ma
tive of Bradford, Vermont, where
he was born June Is, 1856. He was
reared in, and attended the public
schools of, his native city. He
was married at Bradford June Is
1878, to Miss Nellie Hobart, one
of the estimable young women of
that city, whom he had known and
loved for years. Having accumu-
lated, through his frugal habits,
sufficient money, Mr.. and Mrs.
Andross came to Marysville Oct.
20, 1886, and they have since made
their home here.
For some time after they came
the deceased followed his trade of
carpenter. Eventually, however, he
had a desire to branch out into
business for himself and he estab-
lished the Marysville steam laun-
dry. He made a success of the |
venture and several years later |
sold it. Something over year
ago the laundry was burned and |
he again took hold of it and con-
structed one of the finest laundry |
plants in northern California. This
he managed to the time of his
death with gratifying success.
He was also the proprietor of
the Yuba City water works and is
said to have been the possessor
of other valuable property in Yuba
and Suffer counties, attesting his
sagacity as an investor and his
confidence in the district.
The following relatives are left
to mourn the great loss they have
sustained in his DEATH Mrs. c. B.
Andross, widow three sons, E.
Porter Andross, Marysville; Phil
H. Andross, Yuba City; Albert K.
Andross, Blair, Nevada; two bro
theirs, w. S. Andross, lone, CAL;
Clarence E. Andross, Piermont, N.
H.; four sisters, Mrs. c. G. Moore,
Lakeport, N H.; Mrs. Julia Sprague
Providence, RI; Mrs. c. P. Cor
liss, Fitchburg, Mass; Miss Jen-
ME Andross, Piermont, NH.
The funeral arrangements have
not yet been perfected and will
not be until the son who resides
at Blair has been heard from. Kel-
ly Brothers will have charge of
the funeral. The ceremonies will
be held in this city, after which
the remains will be taken away
for cremation. The final interment
will be made in the family plot
at Bradford, Vermont.
The announcement of the death
of Charles B. Andross will cause
a pang of regret in the breasts of
hundreds OF people of Marysville
and this part OF the Sacramento
valley. He was widely known as
public spirited man and while he
had never held a public office he
took a deep interest in municipal,
state and national affairs. For
years he was chairman of the
democratic county central COM
mittee and also Representative of
Yuba county at the time of his
death on the democratic state CEN
trail committee. He had been prof
fered various honors by his party
but with the exception of his ell
ection as delegate to the last ma
tional convention he had declined
hem all.
He was a man of strong impuls-
es and universal sympathies who
J, cid the respect and esteem of
the community for many years.
His integrity was unimpeachable
and his word was his bond. In the
hour of their bereavement the
family has the sympathy of hosts
Of sorrowing friends who will
drop a tear at the bier of an hon
ored citizen and deeply esteemed
business man.
