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.
