About these letters

Samuel Andrews saved his letters. Copies of some letters came to my sister Linda Sanders and I through the good graces of Marian Andrews Edward about a dozen years ago and she is currently sending the remaining letters and she and her brother have given me permission to post them online for all Andrews researchers.

Transcriptions and some original images of letters written by Andrews and Carrick family members to one another are in this collection. Somehow they were saved, either by Samuel or just stored at his home, and passed down to us today. The images online are small but if you click on an image it should enlarge to a readable and printable size. Enjoy.


Who are the people in this photograph?


DeLight Birchell Andrews sent the photo and the names a few years ago and said that this reunion was held before 1898 at the home of John G. Andrews, brother of Samuel. John lived in Campbell township, Ionia County, Michigan at that time.

1903 04 24 Ralph B Andrews to Amanda Andrews



Office
   of
R.B. Andrews
  Lawyer
Beebe, Ark.
                                                                        Beebe, Ark. 4/ 24/ 1903



Dear Aunt: - I had a letter from Ma this Morning and she informs me that it was

all a mistake on the part of the spelling of the names, it was Sam Andress  of

Hayesville who died and not as I supposed Uncle Sam.

It has lifted a great weight of sorrow off of both of us to learn the truth.  It must

have given you all  quite a turn to read my letter but I hope it did not make you

feel badly afterall.

                                                            Yours truly,

                                                            R.B. Andrews




(Envelope address)   Mrs. Amanda Andrews,

                                     Newville,

                                    Ohio
