  W. G. Andrews, a citizen of Kimble since 1910 died at his home in Junction
Saturday, July 13, after an illness of several months.  The body was buried
in the Junction Cemetery Sunday morning at nine o'clock, the Rev. R. Elmer
Dunham, pastor of the Junction Baptist Church, officiating.
  Mr. Andrews was born in Colorado County, August 1, 1873, being nearly 62
years old at the time of his death.  He was married to Miss Sarah Highsmith
December 24, 1893, and to this union were born five children--Willie, Joe,
Jake and John of Junction and Mrs. Bill Chapman of Ozona.  In addition to
his wife and children, he is also survived by three grandchildren.  He had
no brothers or sisters.  His father died when he was only four years old.
  In his earlier life, he was engaged in ranching, but came to Junction in
1910 and engaged in freighting before the days of good roads and motor trucks.
He experienced many of the hardships of the life of the early freighter in 
this section.
  He was a fiddler of exceptional ability and brought happiness into the
lives of many by his playing.  He played for the Old Trail Drivers when
they were in Junction a few years ago.  As long as his health permitted he
entered the old fiddlers contests.
  The following served as pall bearers; John D. Smith, Marvin Skaggs, John 
Evans, Wilma McDonough, Munn Smith, Gilbert Evans.
