Andrews, Barclay, Moon of Albemarle County: A Love Story by William Luther Andrews (written July 1936 in Roanoke, VA):

William Luther Andrews, Orie's son, wrote in his 1936 memoirs of his mother (Andrews, Barclay, Moon of Albemarle: A Love Story) that Edward Moon readily agreed that she should pursue a medical career. However, Edward did not live to see her enroll and passed away in 1853.

As William Luther Andrews wrote in 1936, Orie once wrote to a soon-to-be sister-in-law, "My dear, you must be very brave to marry a man with me for a sister."

Although we have not found primary evidence that Dr. Orie practiced medicine during her stay in the Holy Land, William Luther Andrews claimed that his mother told her children many stories about ministering to the Bedouins.

According to William Luther Andrews, his family lived near a small village of 300 Negroes, whose long days in the cotton and sugar cane fields left them little time but much interest in learning about Jesus.

A large number of villagers attended her Sunday service and over the next few Sundays, they learned to sing and pray under Orie's tutelage. She also urged them to a better life - to be all that they can be. Orie continued her Sunday services all summer, which according to her son, William Luther, gave rise to another heroic episode in his mother's life.
