This background information is in an Andrew family history that was given to the Historical Society many years ago. It is accompanied by this photocopy of a photograph, said to have been taken in Philadelphia in1917. (His friend Lowrain McCrea was also a urologist who practiced in Philadelphia, according to cCrea Miller, a great nephew.) He was born in Table Rock in 1896. He was apparently a good friend of Lowrain McCrea -- who also became a urologist, see below!

The November 1, 1893 edition of the Columbus, Nebraska newspaper carried an interesting article about a physician who left "suddenly" after getting into financial trouble. He had a wife and three children, and wrote to them fora short time. It was discovered that he had gotten married to another woman and eventually committed suicide. Double marriage apparently didn't suit him.
