Joseph G. Mcandrew. Prominent among the energetic and prosperous 
farmers of Benton County, Ark., worthy of special mention is Mr. 
McAndrew, who was born in Lawrence County, Mo., February 2, 1854. His 
father, Joseph McAndrew, was born in East Tennessee in 1808. November 
17, 1840, his marriage with Miss Malinda Perry took place, and their 
union was blessed in the birth of nine children: Elizabeth, the wife 
of J. L. Hagler, and Susan, Alexander, John, George and James, who are 
deceased: Joseph G., Ida, the wife of Dr. Philo Allen, and Samuel 
(deceased). The father was previously married, and by his first wife 
became the father of one son, William, who died soon after the 
commencement of the late Civil War. His present wife was born in 
Alabama, and moved to Tennessee when she was quite young. Joseph G. 
McAndrew was married on the 9th of January, 1878, to Miss Ethel 
Morrison, who was born in Benton County, Ark., February 5, 1859. Her 
father, R. A. Morrison, was one of the earliest settlers of Benton 
County, having come here in 1836. Mrs. McAndrew is the mother of four 
children: Joseph A., Harley, Emma and Elizabeth. Mr. McAndrew is the 
possessor of a fine farm of 160 acres, all in a fine state of 
cultivation. He is a Democrat in his political views, and cast his 
first presidential vote for Tilden. He has shown his brotherly spirit 
by becoming a member of the Masonic fraternity, and he and wife, as 
well as Mr. and Mrs. McAndrew, Sr., are members of the Methodist 
Episcopal Church, South.
