Civil War Flags.jpg H. C. ANDREWS, of the firm of Andrews & Grable, attorneys and collecting agents, established the business in 1878, under the present firm name. They do a large collecting business, and have now on hand for collection $250,000 worth of paper.

Mr. ANDREWS was born in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, October 19, 1845. He enlisted in Company D, Eighth Iowa Cavalry; participated in the Atlanta campaign; was taken prisoner at Newnan, Georgia, and confined in Andersonville, Georgia, and several other rebel prisons, and after having spent ten months in the South, he was finally exchanged, and was mustered out at Annapolis, Maryland, June 28, 1865. He soon went to Mount Ayr, Iowa, and began the study of law in the law office of Laughlin & Keller, remaining about two years, and, being admitted to the bar on April 1, 1878, he then began practice. He was elected County Superintendent of Schools one term, after which he was elected Clerk of the Court for Ringgold County, and served one term. He took the United States census of the same county for 1870; continued practice until 1873, when he moved to Kearney, Nebbraska, and continued his profession. He was married in Bedford, Taylor County, Iowa, in 1871, to Miss Mary F. CAMPBELL, of Quincy, Florida. They have two children - Kenneth R. and Ralph F.
