Death
Andrews died of pneumonia at the Hotel
Brighton in Atlantic City, New Jersey, on
April 14, 1904, aged 67/68. He had fallen
ill just seven days earlier.[1] His funeral
was held in Cleveland, and he was
temporarily interred in the Wade Chapel
receiving vault at Lake View Cemetery.[2]
The will, probated in New Jersey, gave
his fortune to his wife, Mary. After her
death, whatever was left was to be
apportioned among his children in equal
shares.[3] His wife died from an infected
abscess in the ear just 11 months later.[4]
By this time, a small Andrews family
vault had been built at Lake View and
Samuel Andrews interred there. Mary
Andrews was interred beside him.[5] In
1907, the Andrews children had erected
at Lake View a Neoclassical mausoleum
at a cost of $50,000 ($1.57 million in
2022 dollars) to $100,000 ($3.14 million
in 2022 dollars). Samuel and Mary
Andrews were reinterred there in
September 1907.[6]
