FRANK E. ANDREWS. Sixty years ago Frank E. Andrews was born in Darby township, Union county, Ohio, and his entire life has been spent in this same township.  He has been a stock buyer for a quarter of a century and has also been engaged in farming during all of this time in Darby township.
     Frank E. Andrews, the son of Rufus H. and Sarah (Wheeler) Andrews, was born in Darby township, Union county, Ohio, July 29, 1855.  His parents were natives of Madison county, Ohio, their ancestors having come to this state from Connecticut early in the history of this state. Rufus Andrews and his wife were not married until they came to Union county, and here they reared their three children: Frank E., who is the only one living; H. M., who died at the age of twenty-one, and Clara, who died at the age of twenty-four, after marrying Harry Woodruff.  The father of these children died in May, 1902, and the mother passed away February 8, 1907.
     Frank E. Andrews received all of his education in the schools of Darby township and remained at home until his marriage, when he began farming for himself.  He began with a small farm and gradually increased it until now he is the owner of one hundred and fifty acres of well improved land three miles west of Plain City, Ohio.  For the past twenty-live years he has been engaged extensively in the buying and shipping of live stock of all kinds.
     Mr. Andrews was married on Christmas eve, 1879, to Alice V. Mitchell, a daughter of David and Elizabeth (Wingfield) Mitchell, who were early pioneers of Union county. The father of Mrs. Andrews died in 1899, and her mother passed away November 3, 1914.  There have been born five children to Mr. and Mrs. Andrews: Charles, born March 4. 1881, a farmer of Madison county, Ohio: Edna, born January 8, 18S3, the wife of William Davis, a farmer of Jerome township: Merle E., born July 14, 188fi, the wife of Phillip P. Koehl, of West Liberty, Ohio: Edgar R., horn October 11, 1895, who is still living with his parents, and Tunys, born February 2, 1900.
     Politically, Mr. Andrews has long been identified with the Republican party, but has never taken an active part in political affairs, his extensive business having been such that he has not had the time to devote to political matters, and has never had any inclination to make the race for public office.  He is well known throughout the county and is esteemed because of his integrity and strength of character.
