On Dec. 22 my beloved husband, Andrew, left this world to be with Jesus. He had been in failing health since late October but we did not consider his condition serious until Thanksgiving time when the doctor pronounced his case "Horners Syndrome." He had suffered several heart attacks over recent years and the doctor explained that as the blood was restricted in flow to the heart at those times, now it was restricted in flow to the brain. He was conscious up to the last few days. Pneumonia set in which hastened his death. He was in the hospital at the time of his passing.
All of our children except Oren were with him when he left this world. Oren had trouble getting a flight out of Tacoma but was here for the funeral, held at 11 a.m. on Dec. 24. It was a bright day and many friends came to show their last respects. Pastor Duane Oesch opened the service and Bro. Vernon Hochstetler of Wolford preached the funeral sermon, basing his words on Andrew’s testimony to me one of his last days—“Christ is Lord.” Music was provided by the Salem congregation of Wolford. Interment was in the Fairview Mennonite cemetery.— Mrs. A. L. Glick.

Andrew L. Glick was born on Apr. 18, 1900 near Allentown, Pa. to Levi and Elizabeth Esh Glick. His mother died when he was two years old at which time he went to live with his aunt and uncle, Malinda and Henry Unble of near Gap, Pa. He attended the Byerstown school.
At eight years of age he made his home with his father and new wife, Ella Brubaker, on the prairie near Minot N. D. He accepted Christ as his Savior at an early age.
At the age of 18, because of ill health, he was sent to Hesston (Kan.) Academy and Bible School in hopes that a more relaxed life with books which he so much enjoyed would restore his health. He spent the next ten winters at Hesston and a part of this time taught at the academy. He graduated from the academy in 1922 and earned his college degree in 1927.
On June 6, 1926 he married Amy S. Kreider at Palmyra, Mo. To this union were born seven children: Elizabeth H. (Mrs. Keith) Grandfield, Portage, Ind.; Elvin 0., Clare, la.; Margaret (Mrs. Everett) Metzler, Hong Kong; Oren W., Gig Harbor, Wash.; John R., Minot N. D.; Lydia (Mrs. Said) Samatar, Evanston, Ill., Ervie L. Crookston, Minn.
In the fall of 1929 we moved to his father's farm at Minot, N. D. Andrew engaged in dairy farming and taught winter Bible school at various places in the conference district. He also taught Bible school and Sunday school and served as Sunday school superintendent for many years. For many years also he was treasurer of the district mission board and later president of that board.
Andrew was in good health until late October 1975. By Thanksgiving time the doctor pronounced his trouble as "Homer's Syndrome," which soon proved to be acute. Pneumonia set in a few days before he answered the final call by Christ who was his Lord. He "fought a good fight, he kept the faith."
Funeral services were held at the Fairview church on Dec. 24 with Duane Oesch and Vernon Hochstetler officiating. Music was provided by the Salem congregation near Wolford, N. D. Burial was made in the Fairview cemetery —His Wife.
