george & mary andrew
(? - 1910, 1832-1879)
born in england
|
George and Mary Dann Andrew had at last three sons, William (1857-1915), Dann (1865-1944), and Lincoln (1867-1885), and those three sons are buried in Table Rock. Whether George and Mary, or whether George came to Table Rock with the sons after Mary died is an unknown. The earliest references to them currently known are in the late 1880s.
According to the hdailey29 family tree, George and Mary Dann Andrew were born in England. They married on March 25, 1853. Hdailey29 believes that they came to America in 1859 and migrated to what would become Green Garden, Illinois. We would like to suggest another possibility -- the oldest son, William, was born about 1857 (based on census information) and was born in Indiana (based on his marriage license). That suggests that George and Mary may have come to America as early as 1857 and gone first to Indiana, where their son William was born, before moving west to Illinois, perhaps right after the Civil War, where their son Dann was born in 1865 and their son Lincoln in 1867. One wonders looking at the birth dates, whether there may have been a child or two between William and Dann. The Civil War could account for the absence of children between 1861 and 1865, but perhaps another child may have been born around 1859 or 1860? Whether there was one or whether it survived is only interesting speculation. The Andrew name was once familiar in Table Rock. In 1889 and through at least 1990 there was the business of Andrew & Kovanda. Intervening, there was a business in 1894 called "Andrew Brothers, Dealers in Hardware and Furniture, see the ad below. Was George the father here in Table Rock, and the Andrew of Andrew & Kovanda, with the sons going together for a separate business? It seems odd to have a business with just "one" Andrew and another with Andrew 'brothers" but it also seems odd that both businesses would complete in the hardware and furniture businesses. The Table Rock Driving Park (a harness racing track) was reportedly located on Dann Andrew's farm. Where are George and Mary buried? Hdailey29 does not seem to know, and neither do we. The 1880 federal census shows a George and Mary Andrew living in Brownville, Nebraska with children Frederick (age 2) and William (5 months old). But they are not the right George and Mary. That George's parents were born in Ohio. They were the only George and Mary Andrew we could find, so HDailey29's search cannot be helped. We can only say that they had three sons, and all are buried here. |

GEORGE & MARY'S SON william
|
William Andrew was another son of George and Mary Andrew, as established by the Gage County, Nebraska marriage records. The March 31, 1886 marriage log shows that George Andrew and Mary Dann were his parents, and his bride was Mary E. Boggs, daughter of L.B. and Virginia Boggs. It says that both were born in Indiana, William being 29 and Mary 25.
The cemetery burial records show he died February 8, 1915 and is buried in the plot right next to Lincoln Andrew. (Lincoln is in 2-29-1 and William in 2-29-2, i.e., in the northwest quarter of the cemetery, section 29, lots 1 and 2). The Dann Andrew family members are all buried west of there, in Section 22 of the same quarter. If there was a tombstone for William Andrew, it has not survived. But given that they are side-by-side, one would think that they are related. Our guess is that they were brothers, but we have no idea. The 1900 census shows a William Andrew, born in Illinois in 1857, living in Table Rock with wife Mary E. William's parents had both been born in England. He and his wife married in 1887. They had children Ransel and Rella, ages 7 and 5. His occupation was "merchant hardware & far." By 1910, the federal census showed that William and Mary were living in Oklahoma with their children, listed as aged 19 and 17. It is likely that he did not move back to Table Rock. It was common then, as is now, that people would want to be buried where they felt at home so, like his brother Dann, his body was probably shipped back to Table Rock by train and an empty lot next to his brother Lincoln used. Their son Ransel died of tuberculosis in 1942. He was a chemist. Ransel was born in Table Rock on December 6, 1890 and died June 25, 1942 in Ashville, North Carolina, although Fairfax, Virginia was his usual residence. He was a veteran and was buried at Arlington National Cemetery. |

Lincoln S. Andrew's tombstone says he was the son of George and Mary Andrew, and with Mary Andrew's maiden name having been Dann, and one of her other sons being named Dann, it is almost certain that Lincoln was the younger brother of Dann.

Dann & his wife Lydia
Photo 208 - Dann and Lydia Brummond Andrew (1865-1944, 1872-1941). The frame is stamped with a photo studio inscription in Peotone, Illinois. On the back is written, Dann Andrew and Lydia Brumond Andrew, TR residents 1894 to 1924, "President School Board, President, Methodist Church" and doesn't say which, but probably Dann. (It is Dann and not Dan.)
This definitely has the look of a wedding picture. They were married in Will County, Illinois on December 16, 1891, when he was 26, she was 19. Peotone --where this picture was taken -- is in Will County. If you have access to genealogical data bases, you'll find that marriage date in the Illinois Marriage Index, and in family trees on Ancestry such as "hdailey29."
Dann and Lydia had two sons, Raymond (1893-1976) and Lloyd (1896-1976). Raymond graduated from Table Rock in 1913, Lloyd in 1914.
Raymond married Lotta Woods (Class of 1912) in 1915, and they had two children Dan (1920-2013) and Richard (Dick) (1922-1928). Little Dick became ill while staying with family in Table Rock, and died.
Lloyd married Elizabeth Frick and they had four children, who included Henry, Robert, and Raymond.

made by Lydia andrew in 1891
it was found in the museum, donor unknown.
Lydia would have been 19 when she made this; she obviously didn't make it in a day! . The date given is the date of her marriage to Dann Andrew; perhaps it was part of her trousseau.
This was found in a box backstage at the Opera House. There were items nearby that had belonged to Cora Kent, donated by daughter Mildred, which included other items of this age, but we don't know that this came from them. To have an exact date suggests that a relative in the know passed this down.

It is a little difficult to understanding the labeling, but we interpret it as saying that Raymond Andrew is the one with the straw hat who is on the left and Lloyd Andrew is to the far right, holding a straw hat and his right arm by one of the girls .

This card, with very tiny photos, is in the Historical Society's collection. Only two are identified on the back. Raymond Andrew is in the upper right, Carl Glenn, Sr., in the bottom left. When little Dick Raymond died in 1928, it was said that it was at the home of "his aunt, Mrs. Carl Glenn." Photo 213.
It is labeled as the 8th grade in 1907. However, Raymond graduated from high school in 1912, which would make 1908 the more likely date, and a 1907 photograph of the 8th grade does not include either Raymond or Carl Glenn.

In this photo of "The Jolly Four," Lloyd (far left) and classmate Lowrain McCrea pose. Both went to medical school in Philadelphia at the same time, so they were presumably good friends. Bill Vondrasek stayed in Table Rock all his life; he was the postmaster for many years. John Fellers left, but we were not sure of how his life went.
Labeled as "The Jolly Four," these are Lloyd Andrew, John Fellers, Lowrain McCrea, and Bill Vondrasek. Photo 104.

a DOCUMENT: an ANDREW FAMILY HISTORY
Additional photographs of the Andrew family, photocopies only, were included on Disc 8 of the various records maintained in the Stehlik Building of the Table Rock Historical Society museums.
They are as follows: A picture taken of Dr. Lloyd Andrew in Philadelphia in 1917. According to the photo, he was born in Table Rock in 1897. He was the first board certified urologist in the United States. A year after this picture was taken, the influenza pandemic hit Philadelphia really hard. Lloyd was still a medical student, but he and other students were sent out to treat people. They were given drivers and, according to Lloyd, saw much sickness and death. A letter home was published in the Argus. You can find it in an article on this website about the pandemic in Pawnee County.
Pictures of baby Dan Edgar Andrew (1919), Dan & Dick Woods Andrew (1919 or 1922 on Dann Andrew farm), Raymond Andrew (undated), Lotta Woods Andrew (1915). The relationship of these family members is unknown. (Note that Dann Andrew is spelled Dan Andrew.)

No reference to George and Mary Andrew found as of February 2015 except on the tombstone of Lincoln S. Andrew as his parents. Dann Andrew was born in 1865 and Lincoln Anrew in1867. Perhaps this was a brother or a cousin, or nobody related at all.

FindaGrave.com identifies Col. Dan E. Andrew as buried in North Carolina. This is almost certainly the Dan Andrew of the baby picture. The baby picture is annotated 1919, and Col. Andrew was born in 1919. An
obituary posted on the FindaGrave memories notes that he was born in Nebraska in 1919, although it does not say where. The obituary says he lived in
Illinois (Park Ridge and Woodstock). A pciture Dann and Lydia Andrew (photo 208) has the studio imprint
indicating Peotone, Illinois, so the family had connections in Illinois. Peotone is a village of 4,000 people in the
northeast section of Illinois; a look at a map shows Park Ridge is not far from
there. Woodstock is a bit farther, but
still in the northeast sector and not all that far.
