Daily Nevada State Journal September 25, 1887
Called Home-Nick Andrews, a pioneer of the Comstock and well known in Western
Nevada, died in San Francisco Thursday night.  Nick was one the early miners on
the old lode, and filled, at various times, positions of trust in several of the
leading mines.  Of late years he was employed in the Crown Point, and it was in
this mine the accident occurred which ended his existence.  The running a nail
in his foot caused his death.  All his friends, and they are numerous, will
regret to hear of his death.  He was a native of Cornwall, England, over 60
years of age.  “Old Nick,” as he was familiarly called by his comrades
underground, was a whole souled, good man to work with, and though years had
laid a heavy hand upon him, he was always willing to do his part.  All the old
time miners are passing away, and it will not be long until all those who first
delved in the Comstock will be under the ground forever.
