Edwin Chapman Andrews
Grandpa Andrews was a strong man, He worked hard all of his life. When I first meet him I think he was getting bald, but you could still tell he had red hair. He worked the farm in Marshalltown, Iows, raised hogs and corn. I remember when visiting he would have tomatoes with sugar on them for lunch. He was a quiet man, but when he spoke you listened. When he was young, I do not know at what age he was roping a horse and had the rope around his fingers. He lost all of the fingers on his right hand, except his thumb. He always smelled like work. He had a wonderful workshop in the barn where he could build or fix anything. These are the things I remember.
Edwin married Iva Anna Lounsberry, daughter of Harvey Wellington Lounsberry and Sarah Agnes Gourley, on 26 Jun 1907 in Marshalltown, Marshall, Iowa, USA. (Iva Anna Lounsberry was born on 29 Jun 1885 in Marshalltown, Marshall, Iowa, USA, died on 30 Sep 1972 in Arvada, Jefferson, Colorado, USA and was buried in Riverside Cemetery, Marshalltown, Marshall, Iowa.) |
Cause of his death was Heart Attack at Home.
