Andrew was a farmer, a contractor who specialized in bridges, and politically active in support of his cousin, Fred P. Cone 1871–1948 (governor of Florida 1937–1941 and known for establishing the Florida State Highway Patrol). The home place was between two of Andrew's bridges, Cone Bridge and Godwin Bridge, both spanning the Suwannee River in Hamilton County. Neither is still standing, though his pilings are still visible, and they are both popular sites to launch boats in Big Shoals State Park. Andrew married late and for love, and his seven children adored him. He was almost 70 when his youngest child was finally grown. He never retired.
