AGED CITIZEN IS DEAD...
Benjamin Andrews succumbs at the age of seventy-seven. Was prominently connected with the oil industry of This City, and had been in business here many years-health gave way years ago from overwork.
Benjamin Andrews died at his residence, 1636 Amelia Street, yesterday afternoon at 5:30 pm, at the age of seventy-seven years. Although of a domestic and retiring disposition, his prominent connection with the oil industries of this city caused him to be well and favorably known in the commercial world. He was a native of Palmar, Mass., and was one of those decendants of rugged Scotch ancestry who have acquired success in this country. His great uncle was "Honest John Davis", at one time Governor of and then Senator from Massachusetts, and among his cousins are the prominent bankers, the Monroes of Paris, France, the Kidders of Boston, and the Dotans of Chicopee, Mass., and also George Rice, the famous New York civil engineer.
Mr. Andrews came to New Orleans forty years ago and was one of the pioneers in the Cotton Oil industry. He had been associated in business with such well- known oil men as Aldige, Maginnus, and also the late D.C. McCan. Nearly twenty years ago his health gave way to the strain of overwork, while he was President of the Cotton Oil Association of this City, and he was compelled to seek rest and physical improvement in European travel. After his return to New Orleans, he became interested in the Beaumont oil fields (in Texas), where he met with considerable success. His health still being far from good, he went to Biltmore, N.C., but not being able to regain his once robust condition, he returned to the city, and his death yesterday afternoon was the culmination of a long illness.
His wife, Mrs. Olivia Annie Vining Andrews, with three daughters and two sons, survive, the daughters being Mrs.Joseph M. Gazzam of Philadelphia, Miss Mary Olivia and Miss Susie. One of his sons, Benjamin Andrews Jr., is connected with the Harriman oil interests in Mexico City, and the other, Rubin (Reuben) Andrews, lives in Los Angeles, CA. Mr. Andrews was a man of commanding presence and splendid character, and was greatly admired by those who were fortunate in knowing him intimately. The funeral will take place from the residence in Amelia Street Monday afternoon at 3 o'clock.
