     ANDREW O. CASWELL, a well known merchant of Portsmouth,
N. H., engaged in a bottling business at No. 50 Porter street, was born
on one of the Isles of Shoals, August 23, 1871. He is one of a family of
four chIldren born to his parents, who were Andrew Jackson and Chris-
tina (Gunnison) Caswell. The father, a fisherman by occupation, died
in 1876. The subject of this sketch was a child of but two years when
he accompanied his parents to Portsmouth. He was educated in the
public schools of this city.  As soon as he was old enough to work he was
obliged to help his widowed mother support the family, and accordingly
found employment as clerk in a hardware business. In 1904 he entered
into his present business, in which he has since continued. He bottles
local beers, and deals in liquors, wines and cordials, including whiskies of
various well known brands. He is also agent for Milwaukee, Bud-
weiser and other foreign beers, bar essences, spruce beer, tonics, etc.
He has been successful in his present business and is widely known as
a substantial and reliable business man. He is affiliated with the order
of Elks and that of Eagles, and also belongs to the Yacht Club.
     Mr. Caswell married Mrs. Hattie Phinney, a widow whose maiden
name was Hattie Shields. She is a daughter of William Shields, of
Portsmouth. Mrs. Caswell has two children by her first marriage,
namely:  A. Waldo and M. Phylis. Mr. Caswell and family are mem-
bers of the North Congregational church. They have a tasteful and
commodious residence at No. 60 Summer street, Portsmouth.
