Shelby County Herald, Shelbyville, Missouri, 16 Apr 1913, Page 8, Column 5 OBITUARIES Andrew Lechliter was born in Mineral county, West Virginia, emigrated to Missouri in '57; died at his home near Cherry Box April 13, 1913, at the age of 79. He belonged to the hardy race of pioneers who crossed the Alleghanies and found an empire in the valley of the Mississippi. He had an intellect above the ordinary. Trained in diplomacy he would have been a statesman. Educated in a college of Jesuites he would have been an eminent priest. Reared under the precepts of MartinLuther he would have been an able expounder of that faith, or given a military training he would have been a great soldier, but circumstances gave him a calling equal to any of these: namely, that of agriculture, in which he was eminently successful, for he brought to it the qualities that insure success in any profession or business—the qualities of patience, honesty, courage, keen perception of everyday facts and the power of making friends. That which was entrusted to his care he regarded as a sacred trust to be held for his children. But he gave to them and to all who knew him the greater heritage of untiring industry, of love and of serenity and fortitude in the presence of death. Though not an active church member, he belonged to that great conservative class without which there would be neither schools nor churches, nor government, for without such there would be neither men nor means to support such institutions. Years of suffering and at the last, weeks of agony, failed to rob him of his good humor, of his courage, of his faith in man or God, and when the final summons came he obeyed without murmuring and accepted his fate as one who lies down to pleasant dreams.—Eben Howe.
