Howard Andrews, who was born near Watson Run, died in a hospital at Nashville, Tenn., on Wednesday morning, November 21, following a stroke of paralysis suffered only a short time before. Mr. Andrews was president of the Nashville Tie Company, which he organized in 1910, and was widely known as an outstanding lumber and reforestation expert. He was a member of the national committee on utilization appointed several years ago by Herbert Hoover, and served in various capacities in behalf of forestry in the country. The advance of forestry work and reforestation work in Tennessee is attributed largely to his efforts.

Engaged in the lumber business in Crawford County until 1910, Mr. Andrews moved to Tennessee and became interested in the Cumberland River lumber business. He later went to Nashville.

Mr. Andrews is survived by the following relatives in this community; a sister, Mrs. Isabel Dennis, of Meadville, and a brother, Silas Andrews, of Conneaut Lake.

Funeral services were held Friday morning at the First Unitarian Church of Nashville, with interment in the Nashville cemetery.
