Obituary
A Pioneer Gone. Mr. Andrew Remfrey, who died at Darlington last Friday, and was buried here on Sunday, was one of the earliest settlers in Mineral Point; but few remain whose citizenship dates back so far as his. Deceased was a native of Cornwall, England; born in 1815. In 1833 he emigrated to America and was a resident of Mineral Point from 1834 up to May, 1876, when he moved to Darlington, where he has resided up to the time of his death. The last few years his health has been such as to confine him to his house, and take him out of active life. for a week or two previous to his death he was confined to his room, but death was not thought to be near, even as late as Friday evening, though it cam about midnight. He was a local preacher and consistent member of the P.M. Church of this City from the time of its foundation to his decease. Mineral Point Tribune Jan 31, 1877
