PIONEER WOMAN OR FLOYDADA IS DEAD
Floydada, June 2.
Mrs. R. C. Andrews, pioneer citizen of Floydada and Floyd County, died Monday night at 10 o'clock at her home in Floydada at the age of eighty-five.
Mrs. Andrews with her husband, Dr. R C. Andrews who died in 1917, were among the first citizens of Floydada and Dr. Andrews has been called "The Founder of Floydada," as It was largely through his efforts that a town was started where now Floydada stands.
Mrs. Andrews came to the Plains and settled here thirty-one years ago.
Mrs. Andrews was born in Kentucky in 1837.
Sixty-five years ago, with her husband and family, she moved to Texas and settled in Grayson County, then a pioneer settlement, upon the extreme frontier of Texas.
They lived in Grayson County, for many years, during which time the hardships of the Civil War and the following reconstruction days were endured.
Later, they lived in Lamar County, and then thirty-one years ago braving the dangers of what was then thought to be part of the “Great American Desert,” they came to Floyd County and have lived here since.
At that time families were very scarce on the Plains. The only means of transportation for hundreds of miles was to semi-monthly wagon lines, which brought all of the necessary supplies for human subsistence from points two hundred miles distant.
