Snow's History of Adams County, Indiana, Snow, J. F.; published by B. F. Bowen & Co, Indianapolis, IN; 1907, pp. 221-222
Philip L. Andrews, editor and business manager of the Decatur Journal, is a native of this county, having been born on December 16, 1859, and is the son of Robert N. and Sophia (Bolinger) Andrews. Mr. Andrews was reared on the paternal farmstead and attended the common schools of Adams county. He subsequently supplemented this schooling by attendance at Lebanon, Ohio, and Portland, Indiana, and during the following ten years was engaged in school teaching.
He read law and was admitted to the bar, but finding this calling not to his liking, he withdrew from the profession after about two years, and in 1897, he was appointed postmaster at Decatur under President McKinley, which position he filled satisfactorily for four years and six months.
He went to Missouri at the expiration of his term and engaged there in the manufacture of staves and shingles. Subsequently he returned to Decatur and has since been identified with journalism in the capacity of editor and business manager of the Decatur Journal. This paper, which was founded in 1876, is an eight-page, seven-column weekly and has been the only paper advocating and supporting the Republican party in Adams county. It enjoys a wide circulation and contains all the current events. Mr. Andrews has always been an active member of the Republican party and takes a deep interest in the general welfare of the community.
On April 8, 1905, he married Miss Laura Marker, who died very suddenly on the 21st of October, 1906. Fraternally Mr. Andrews is a Mason, being a past master of Decatur Lodge, No. 751, Ancient Free and Accepted Mason, and past high priest of Decatur Chapter, No. 112, Royal Arch Masons.
