moved to Mt. Sterling where he resided until his death.

The following was hand written by Andrew and is in the posession of Richard David Shankland.

     Justice makes me tell the fame
     Unsullied are thy virtuous ways
     Delightful for to hear thy name
     It justly merits Christian praise
     Truth and love is thy great shield
     How firm by faith we see them stand

     So many graces in thee are sealed
     To usher forth at thy command
     Oft hast thou cheered the drooping heart
     Of the poor wretches doomed to sigh
     Peace which the Savior did impart
     Secures thee blessing from on high.

     An Acrostic on the name of
     Judith Stoops consort of
     A. G. Shankland 1841 A.D.

No.1
Our father and mother are now both gone,
And we shall see them now, no more;
They have left this land of ours,
For the beautiful golden shore.

No.2
We see the labor of their dear hands.
We miss them in the family band:
We see the path they, with faith in Christ did trod,
And all labors ended, they now rest with God.

No.3
Oh! rest, father and mother, dear.
For the toils of life are done;
We will not forget your kind advice,
Your prayers, and tears, for us as the
Christian race you run.

No. 4
With the bright thought of heaven,
We welcome you through the gate ajar;
To that land that God has given
And the robe and crown you wear..
