While in many instances no victims in any particular locality were caught, but friends were to be found everywhere. Evansville was fortunate this time. Brooklyn lost Miss Hattie Andrews who was formerly a resident there, but of late a nurse in Chicago. Her remains were interred in Brooklyn cemetery, Monday last. Janesville lost two young men, one being in business there and the other a mere lad. Pen cannot portray the serious fire and its consequences as it struck too keenly the hearts of many, but it is to be hoped that a valuable lesson in the building of future theatres will be gleaned from this. January 7, 1904, Evansville Review, Evansville, Wisconsin. Harriet E. Andrew In the sudden death of Miss Harriet E. Andrew, whose home was formerly in Brooklyn, but of late years in Chicago, a bright and prosperous life was ended. A victim of the Iroquois disaster made her death more appalling to her many friends. Miss Andrews was well known in Evansville for years. She possessed the chracteristics of true noble womanhood; of a kindly and sympathetic temperament, truly chracteristic of the vocation of a trained nurse, which line she followed while in the city of her adoption. Her remains were interred in the Brooklyn cemetery and were followed to her last resting place by a large concourse of friends. The sympathies of many friends are extended to the family of the bereaved in this their deep sorrow. January 7, 1904, Evansville Review, Evansville, Wis.
