ALVIN ANDREWS, 77, FORMER DISTRICT ATTORNEY, DIES MON. 

Alvin M. Andrews, 77, of Shawano, died at the local hospital at 12:30 AM Monday. He had been ailing for some time with a heart condition. 

Mr. Andrews was born April 22, 1880 on a farm near Shawano Lake in the town of Wescott and was the son of the late Orlin and Helen Andrews, early Shawano pioneers who settled in Shawano County from the state of New York in the middle 1800's. 

He is survived by his wife, Berd Andrews, one son Atty. Lloyd G. Andrews of Shawano, a daughter, (Ruth) Mrs. James Gehr of Thiensville and 4 grandchildren: Lt. Lloyd M. Andrews in the U.S. Marine Corps; Judy Andrews of Shawano, a student of Wisconsin State College at Oshkosh; James Gehr, Jr. of Oshkosh and Larry Gehr of Cedarburg. 
Mr. Andrews graduated from Shawano High School and Valparaiso and Georgetown University Law schools. He started his law practice in Shawano in 1906 and was District Attorney for Shawano County for 5 terms, a total of 10 years. He was an outstanding trial attorney with a brilliant mind. In later years, after retirement, he did tax work for many people in the surrounding area.

Al, as his many friends knew him, was never heard to speak ill words of anyone and people that knew him liked him for that reason as he was always the first to come up with a temperate comment when criticism was flowing high. 

Al was an ardent sportsman in his earlier years. He loved to hunt and fish and for many years friends who came from the outside to enjoy Wisconsin's great outdoors sought his company and guidance on the trout streams, in the woods and duck blinds, as did his many local friends and companions. 

Funeral services will be held at the Schweers Funeral Home in Shawano at 2 PM Wednesday. Burial will be in Woodlawn Cemetery in Shawano. 

Pallbearers will be Henry Nachtwey, Art Tic, Jim Wanie, Ed Aschenbrenner, Louis Brunner and Bill Chaimson.
