Wesley Franklin and Mary Agnes (Adams) Nash, Mildred
Children: Oliver, Jessie, Elmer, Elsie, Ernest, Archie, and William
William Nash married Harriett Ingells March 5, 1840 in Hancock County, Indiana.
|
William Nash was a native of Tennessee but the removal of his
parents to Indiana enabled him to spend his boyhood days in Madison
county, that state. He was there married to Miss Harriet Ingle, a
native of Indiana, and upon a farm in that state the young couple
began their domestic life, remaining there for some years.
Eventually a removal was made to Missouri and, settling in Nodaway
county, near the present town of Pickering, William Nash there
carried on general agricultural pursuits for several years, or until
1853, when he came to Taylor county, Iowa, entering land in Jackson
township. At that time few settlements had been made within the
borders of the county and much of the land was still in possession
of the government. The settlers had to endure many of the hardships
and privations incident to the establishment of homes upon the
frontier, but they were of a sturdy race and built well for future
generations. After a year William Nash removed to Bedford, where he
carried on merchandising for some time. At intervals he entered
more land and became the owner of several hundred acres, thus
placing his capital in safe investments. His remaining days were
passed in this county, his death occurring on a farm in Taylor
county.

On Dec. 5, 1900 she was married to Oscar M. Andrews at Burlington Colorado and to them were born five children, 3 boys and 2 girls, one of whom, Thelma, preceded her in death. She is survived by her husband, Oscar M. Andrews of Rocky Ford, Colorado and the following children: Lillian Andrews, Los Angeles, California; Fred Andrews, Yakima, Washington; Nova Andrews, Ordway, Colorado; Oliver Andrews, Los Angeles, California and the following brothers and sisters: Elmer Nash, whereabouts unknown; Ernest Nash, Independence, Mo; Archie Nash, Wray, Colo.; William Nash, Pasadena, Calif.; Mrs. Eldie Helmick, Canon City, Colo. and 16 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren. Her early life was spent in Iowa & Yuma County, Colo. and since 1926 in Rocky Ford. At an early age she recognized the call of Christ and accepted Him & united with the Christian church. In 1905 she and her husband became members of the Church of the Brethren at Haxtun, Colorado & in 1926 transferred their letters to the Rocky Ford congregation of that church. Her entire life has been on complete and consistent testimony to the love & power & grace of God, in the daily indwelling of the Holy Spirit in her life, through Jesus Christ. In consequence of this she became a model of Christian devotion and constant self sacrifice to her husband and children, all her relatives & many friends, her community, but most of all to her Lord & His church. To be a Christian meant working at it for Sister Andrews and she began by teaching Sunday School while still in the grade schools herself, and continued this life of acceptable service up to the time of her illness. One of her major concerns & emphases was Christian education & for this for her own & others' children, she labored long & sacrificed much. Truly indeed it must be said of her now, in memoriam, "she died the death of the righteous & her end was like his." God help us to have more such women, wives, mothers, Christian citizens, as Jessie Nash Andrews. |
