Samuel R. ANDREWS was for a long time one of the most useful and trusted
citizens of Columbus.  No man stood higher for unyielding integrity and an
old-time candor and sincerity that commended him to the entire confidence of his
fellow-citizens.  Besides holding the office of Town Treasurer, he was for years
an Alderman and a Justice of the Inferior Court, which position he graced by his
impartiality and good sense.  He was a builder by occupation, and many edifices
whose erection he superintended dot the city.  He died in 1862, at a good old age.
