Died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. H.L. Pratt, near Douglas, December 29, 1913.
Mr. Andrews was born in Onondaga county, New York, April 14, 1817, being the oldest of a family of twelve children. He made his home with his parents until reaching his majority, in the meantime receiving a common school education. He then learned the cooper's trade, which he followed for a period of ten years. He was married to Miss Julia A. Hill, Feb. 28, 1847, and farmed for two years in New York State, then going to Wolworth county, Wis., and plying his trade and farming two years. In 1863 Mr. Andrews was seized with the gold fever, made his way to California, and in company with his brother staking a claim in Sacramento county, was engaged most of the time thereafter for a period of ten years hunting for the yellow ore. Not withstanding his perseverance he met with indifferent success, and 1863 (1873?) found him on his way to his old home in New York. After three years he moved to Wisconsin. In 1875 he purchased a farm in Keokuk county, Iowa, in partnership with his brother, later sold out his interest there and farmed near Jenerson, Iowa, until 1884, when he moved to Nebraska, filing on the homestead where he lived until his death.
His first wife died in 1848, one daughter having been born to this union. He married Miss Mary A. Rush in Keokuk county, Iowa, May 9, 1869. Five children were born to them, four daughters and a son. The son met an accidental death.
