  Andrews, William W., was born on February 19, 1830, in Morris, Otsego 
County, N.Y. He was converted in Norwich, N.Y., on January 18, 1854, 
and joined the church at once. He received exhorter's license in 1855 
and local preacher's license a year later. He joined the Oneida 
Conference in 1858, and became a member of Wyoming in 1869 by accession 
of Oneida territory. In his younger days he learned the blacksmith 
trade. This served him well during his life in the ministry, as by it 
he was able to supplement his income on several occasions.

Pharsalia, Chenango County, N.Y.

the pastor at Mount Upton. Since his superannuation he has lived at 
Athens, Pa.
