Andrew Hood was born May 19, 1860 in Scotland to Nicol and Angelina O’Neil Hood. He was the 6th of 11 children. His father Nicol was a coal miner as were many of the men in Scotland at that time. Andrew’s parents, Nicol and Angelina, had both joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints before they were married in 1850. Over the next twenty-three years, eleven children were born. A few years after their marriage, Nicol met with a serious accident in the coal pit and he lost his left arm and two fingers from his right hand. In a crippled condition, he reared his family in poverty.
Andrew was 14 years old when his mother died about two months after the birth of her last daughter, Angelina. Soon after Angelina’s death, Nicol moved his large family to Benhar, Linlithgothshire and Nicol became president of a branch of the church. Shortly thereafter, November, 1875, Nicol also passed away. Andrew was fifteen when his father died and the baby Angelina was 2 years old. Seven of the children were under eighteen when both of their parents had died. Older siblings became both mother and father rearing the smaller children. One of the older daughters, Elizabeth, had immigrated to America around the time of her parents deaths, and now a church elder offered to pay for one more of the children to leave Scotland for America. That sibling was to find work in Utah and send money for the other siblings to follow. Margaret was chosen to make that journey in October, 1876. By 1880, seven of the siblings had arrived in America, including Andrew who arrived in 1878. One brother had died as an infant and three sisters remained in Scotland. Both Agnes (now 29 yrs.) and Mary (now 26 yrs.) had both married and chose to stay in their homeland. The youngest daughter, Angelina, (now six years old) stayed with her sisters in Scotland. Eventually Mary, Angelina and Mary’s three children did immigrate to America in 1893.
Andrew very likely worked in the coal mines in Wyoming for the first few years he was in America. In 1884, He married Rachel Richards and over the next three years, they had two children born in Almy, Uinta Co., Wyoming. Several of his siblings had married Russell siblings from Uinta Co., Wyoming. Daughter Rachel Angeline was born in 1885 and son, Harold Andrew, was born in 1887. Then by 1890, their third child was born in Scofield, Utah. Scofield was another coal mining town where at least two of his sisters were also living. Andrew and Rachel and their family lived in Scofield for the next several years, and six more children were born in Carbon County and Andrew supported their nine children working as a coal miner.
Before the census was taken in 1910, Andrew had moved his family to Provo, Utah Co., Utah. They had six children still living at home. Andrew listed his occupation as a coal miner but also said he was earning his living by farming. The three older sons were listed as laborers but also reported home farming. The years between 1910 and 1920 must have been difficult as three of his siblings died and two of their daughters died. Daughter, Marion, died of a cerebral abscess in 1915 when she was 14 yrs. old and daughter Delia (18 years) died in the Influenza pandemic of 1918. The family was still living in Provo in 1915 but were back in Scofield by 1918.
Living in Carbon County in 1930, Andrew and Rachel and one daughter, Amorel, were the only ones in the household. Then in 1921, Andrew’s wife, Rachel, died of a cerebral hemorrhage (stroke) at the age of 58 years. She was buried in the Provo Cemetery.
Andrew remarried to a woman named Etta May Cusic in Salt Lake City in 1924. He was 63 years old and Etta was 46 years old. Andrew and Etta lived in Salt Lake City for the last years of Andrew’s life. He worked as a janitor at a casket company in Salt Lake City. Andrew died of nephritis (kidney disease) on March 30, 1932. He is buried in the Provo City cemetery along with several members of his family.
