* Kew York. —The board of directors
Of Southern Railway
paid a high tribute to the memoiy of
the late Col. A. B. Andrews, first
▼ice-president aud for many years a
member of the board, who died at his
home In Raleigh, N. C., on April 17,
1015, in the following resolutions:
“In Memoriam, Alexander Boyd
Andrews.
“Alexander Boyd Andrews was born
In Franklin county, North Carolina,
on the 28d day of July, 1841. He
tendered hls services to the Confed
eracy in April, 1861, and in June
of that year, before he was 20 years
of age, was made a second lieutenant
In Company E of the First regiment
of North Carolina cavalry, Confed
erate States Army. He served with
distinguished gallantry until, In Sep
tember, 1868, he was shot through
the chest aud lung by the fragment of
a shell at Jack’s Shop, near Gordons
ville, Va. After recovering from this
serious wound he found, when peace
was re-established, the whole indus
trial lift* of the South prostrate as
a result of war and the people among
whom lie lived confronted with the
task of rebuilding their social, and
of creating an industrial, system on
new 7 lines. He became a factor of
prime importance in this creative and
constructive work. Realizing the ne
cessity for transportation in any plan
of reorganization and reconstruction,
he entered railroad life. His first
service was with the Raleigh and Gas
ton and with the Raleigh and Au
gusta railroads, and as their superin
tendent for eight years he was the
principal factor in their rehabilitation
after the ravages of war.
With the R. and D.
“His efficiency in this work brought
him an offer of promotion from the
Richmond and Danville Railroad Com
pany, and in 1875 he became super
intendent of its North Carolina di
vision. He remained with this and
other predecessors of Southern Rail
way Company and with the South
ern itself uninterruptedly until his
death, a period of forty years. Be
ginning with the office of superin
tendent, he worked his way up
through various intermediate grades
until he became first vice-president
and a director of this company, which
position he held at the time of hls
death and had held for many years.
“His active railroad work had thus
extended over a period little short of
half a century.
“During that time the principal
construction and organization work
of the railroads of the South has been
done, and the industrial life of the
South itself has been thorganlzed and
rebuilt. In this accomplishment Col
onel Andrews was a vital force. Pos
sessing a strong and dominating per
sonality, virile and commanding In
character and intellect, he threw him
aelf into his great work with irre
sistible wIU and purpose. Hls
achievements, which were many,
richly entitle him to a place among
the great constructive forces of his
State and section.
Completed Western Road.
“Among these achievements was
the completion of the Western North
Carolina railroad, from Old Fort, over
the mountains, through Asheville, to
Paint Rock, and its branches. Thus
through his efforts was opened up
the great industrial section of western
North Carolina. Population and de
velopment and industries followed bis
pioneer act, and every person in that
rich and inviting territory is now, and
their descendants through all the
coming years will be, enjoying the
conveniences, the opportunities and
the blessings made possible by this
great piece of constructive work. The
Western North Carolina Railroad will
remain a monument to the useful and
honorable achievements of Colonel
Andrews, who was its builder.
“Ilis life was not an easy one, for
it was his lot to encounter and over
come great difficulties. His activity,
liis positive and purposeful character
and liis touch with great things
brought him into sharp conflicts with
important forces. In the midst of
them all he bore himself with a cour
age and virility which commanded
universal respect ami enabled him to
crown his efforts with notable suc
cess. In every trust and in every re
lation of life he was loyal and faith
ful and true.
On the Personal Side.
“On his personal side he was a man
of compelling and attractive person
ality and was greatly honored and
beloved. He married in 1869 Miss
Julia M. Johnston, daughter of Col.
William Johnston, of Charlotte, N. C.,
who was president of the Charlotte,
Columbia and Augusta Railroad Com
pany. With her as his helpmate he
buUt up an exceptionally happy aud
beautiful home life, which he distin
guished by the most cordial and
liberal hospitality.
“He was a devoted husband and
father and followed his children, even
after they were grown, with undimin
ished parental tenderness and solici
tude.
“He took a deep interest in the
welfare of Confederate veterans and
in the establishment and maintenance
for them of the Confederate Soldiers’
home in Raleigh.

“Although himself deprived of the
benefits of a college education, he
was an earnest friend and supporter
of the University of North Carolina,
being for many years a member of
its board of trustees and of its ex
ecutive committee.
“He came to realize the value of a
religious life and connected hirnself
as a communicant with the Protest
ant Episcopal church, being an active
and zealous member of the Church of
the Good Shepherd of Raleigh, for
which in the latter years of hls life
his munificence helped to provide a
new and stately place of worship.
Devoted to Native State.
“He was devoted in his attachment
to the state of North Carolina. No
exigency of business or of personal In
tefest was strong enough to persuade
him to make hi ft home elsewhere. He
believed in the sturdiness, the .sense
