CLASS OF 1875

Rev. Charles Everett Andrews died at his home in Walpole, Mass., February 23, 1923, of arteriosclerosis, after a long period of failing health.

The son of Seth and Harriet (Jones) Andrews, he was born in Warren, Me., October 9, 1850. His early education was obtained at the public schools and by private study.

After graduation from the Thayer School he was engaged for a time in engineering, being an assistant engineer in the employ of the Pennsylvania Railroad. A change of life plans led him to begin study for the ministry in 1878 at Bangor Theological Seminary. He graduated from the seminary in 1881, and then held successful pastorates of Congregational churches, as follows: Newcastle, Me., 1881-3; Biddeford, Me., 1884-7; Torrington, Conn., 1887-9; Broadway church, Somerville, Mass., 1889-90. For several years following he lived in his native town, and then in 1895 began a pastorate of two years with the Free church of Deering, Me., and Bethany church of South Portland. The latter church was organized and its house of worship erected largely through his efforts. Permanent retirement from the active ministry now became necessary on account of impaired health, and he made his home for the rest of his life at Walpole, Mass.

June 1, 1882, Mr. Andrews was married to Marcia Ellen Huston of Damariscotta, Me., who survives him, with a son, Chester H. Andrews, and a daughter, Bertha G. Andrews. There are also two grandchildren.

Dartmouth conferred upon Mr. Andrews in 1884 the honorary degree of Master of Arts.
