One of Massena's Oldest and Most Respected Residents Passes Away
Hannibal Andrews, whose death was briefly mentioned in these columns last week, was the fourth of a family of six children and the second to die. He was born in this village January 10, 1824, on the site now occupied by Mrs. Martin's building at the south end of the bridge. When quite a young man he engaged in the merchantile business at Helena and in 1852 was supervisor of the town of Brasher, at the same time his father was supervisor of Massena. About 1855 he came back to Massena and engaged in business with his brother Guy. In 1860 he circulated a subscription paper for the relief of soldier's families and to purchase supplies for the soldiers going to the front and raised several thousand dollars.
In 1862 he married Miss Harriet DeLano, at Eagle Harbor, N. Y., and she came to Massena to reside. On account of failing health he went to Fortress Monroe, Va., where he spent 1865-66, and was there while Jefferson Davis was a prisoner at the Fort. Then he spent some time in New Jersey, and finally returned to Massena in 1872 where he has resided continuously since. His wife and three children survive him, Police Commissioner Avery D. Andrews, of New York City, and two daughters, Katherine and Hattie. The funeral was held Friday from the family residence, Rev. A. H. Winn, of the Congregational church, officiating.
