General Notes: Husband - Francis W. "Frank" Andrews

---

He was born two miles north of Mount Pleasant, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, and his childhood was spent in the same manner as that of most country lads of that period. He attained his education at the local public schools, and later attended Lexington Seminary, Lexington, Ohio. Upon completing his studies at these institutions, he took up farming as an occupation and worked for some nineteen years on a farm owned by him in Sewickley township. He continued thus engaged until the year 1900, and then came to Irwin, where he engaged very successfully in the agricultural implement business and soon came to occupy a prominent place in the town's affairs. He was a charter director of the City National Bank of Irwin, and was an influential figure in the financial world there. Mr. Andrews was a strong Democrat in politics and at one time was asked to become a candidate for mayor of Irwin. He and his family were United Presbyterians in religion and attended the church of this denomination at Irwin, Mr. Andrews being a trustee thereof. Later in life he made his home during the winter in Irwin and during the summer resided on the old Fox farm, located near Mount Pleasant, which had come into the family through his wife. Mr. Andrews was a very reserved man, quiet and retiring in disposition.

He resided at Irwin, Pennsylvania, where he was employed by the McCormick Company as a machinist and engineer.

In the year 1914 she became the possessor of the old Fox farm, which comprised about one hundred and twenty acres and which had been in the Fox family ever since the time of the original patent, granted to one of her ancestors by the state of Pennsylvania. Here was situated an old brick farm house, erected by her grandfather. This was the old Fox inn, which was at one time a very popular rendezvous of travelers in those parts. Mrs. Andrew's father added a frame structure to this building, which was regarded as one of the old landmarks there.

She was president of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union at Irwin, Pennsylvania, and vice-president of the County Association of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union. She attended many of the conventions of this society as a delegate. She was also president of the Ladies' Town Aid Society of Irwin, the objective of which organization was to assist the deserving poor. She was also a member of the Red Cross Society, a member and vice-president of the Woman's Literary Club, and was chairman of the County Congress for Mother's Pensions.
