We are searching for any information or records of the Paul H Andree, Sr family. We found his mother, Hannah Wall, 1859 in late 1997, but not his father; which has left the family history prior to his birth relatively empty. He worked in the coal mines as a child and then on his uncle’s farm for his keep until his uncle died. Paul was supposed to inherit the farm, but for some reason he didn’t. Paul attended the Felsburg Methodist Church where Sarah Zimmerman was the organist. They fell in love, but Grandma Zimmerman (Sarah’s mother)wouldn’t let Sarah marry Paul because he was an orphan with no family; so they eloped to Maryland. In later years, Grandma Zimmerman thought so much of Paul that he became her favorite.
Paul received the Wesleyan teaching of “Holiness” as a Christian, which was unpopular in some churches. He began holding prayer meetings in homes as he was called upon. My father, Howard, said that Paul was often away in the evenings and Sunday afternoons to lead meetings. The Nazarenes had a tent revival that birthed a church in Monongahala. Thet needed a Pastor and people said to call Paul Andree. He said he would take it until they found a Pastor; he stayed for 34 years until he retired.
He bought a large house in New Eagle which he called his “house of prayer”. People came for prayer and counsel at any time of the day. Paul wrote many gospel tracts and had them on display for his many visitors. He also started a telephone prayer ministry, where he called a long list of people daily to pray with them. Soon many people began calling him for prayer needs.
Paul died at 93 years of age and was mourned up and down the Monongahala River Valley. His funeral was the largest ever attended at the Gilmore Cemetery. He was a tireless and selfless servant of the Lord till his last day.
