General Notes: Husband - Hugh B. Andrews


He attended school in Greenville, Mercer County, PA, until he was ten years old. At that time he went to live in the home of his uncle, Henry Sherbondy, on a farm in Greene Township, Mercer County, where he continued his education in the township schools and assisted on the farm, remaining there until nineteen years of age. Upon leaving the farm he served a three years’ apprenticeship to the carpenter’s trade, which he followed at Oil City since 1891, working for various contractors until he commenced on his own account. He had his share of important contracts in and around the city, the Henry I. Beers building, United Presbyterian Church and a number of very desirable residences being of his construction and comparing very favorably with the best work in this section. He was well known in other relations, having taken an active part in city affairs, and he had the distinction of having been the first councilman ever elected there on the Prohibitionist ticket, representing the Ninth ward. He was a member of the First U. P. Church and a trustee, and fraternally he was an Odd Fellow, affiliated with Latonia Lodge, No. 1018, of Oil City, and the Encampment.
