  Word has been received here of the death on Aug. 14 of Darwin M. Andrews, of Boulder, Colo.   Mr. Andrews had been in failing health for some time but his death was unexpected and came with a shock to his family and friends.
  Mr. Andrews, a former student of Milton college, went to Boulder many years ago and familiarized himself with the plant life of that section.   He made many field trips into the mountains to study the plants in their natural habitat, and was so successful in this study and work that he gained a national reputation and received honors for the introduction of unknown varieties.   Plants from his nurseries were shipped long distances.
  Mr. Andrews was born in Farina, Ill., Oct. 3, 1869, and married in Boulder, Colo., Miss Mary Wheeler, daughter of Rev. and Mrs. S. R. Wheeler.   Mrs. Andrews was also a student in Milton college and will be remembered by many friends who sympathize with her in her bereavement.
  There were three children, two of whom survive, Mrs. Mildred Steele of Boulder and Philip Andrews who is now in South America engaged in research.   He will be remembered as a student of Milton college in 1917-1918.   There are several grandchildren.

  Mary Wheeler Andrews was born Feb. 22, 1872, to Rev. Samuel R. and Sofia F. Wheeler on Seventh Day Lane near Nortonville, Kan., and died Feb. 17, 1961, at Boulder, Colo.
  She was the last surviving charter member of the Seventh Day Baptist Church of Boulder, organized in May 1893.   On Sept. 20, 1893, she married a Milton College classmate, Darwin M. Andrews.   Mr. Andrews (1869-1938) was a world-renowned specialist in Rocky Mountain flowers, plants, and trees.   He and Mrs. Andrews filled a large place in the life of the Boulder church.   The attendance of university and community people at her memorial service point to the deep, though quiet, influence on the Boulder community.
  Memorial services were conducted in her church with Pastor Emeritus Erlo Sutton and Pastor David Clarke presenting tributes to her.   Surviving her are a son, Philip; a daughter, Mrs. Walter (Mildred) Steele; a brother, Herbert N. Wheeler, and a sister, Mrs. Clarissa Rasmussen, all of Boulder.   There also survive several grandchildren and great-grandchildren.   Burial was in Mountain View Memorial Park at Boulder.     D. S. C.
