Andrews Active And Enjoys Life at Age 90 *— l S *\k ■i I \\wmSKßi i W' ,S I is L \ JSP^|! 1 *j '. *■ pPPJ|P(jJ||PS!^^^^ One of Butts County’s most remarkable women and useful citizens observed her 90th birthday on July 25th. She is Mrs. Sallie Ophelia Smith Andrews of the Iron Springs Community and widow of Mr. 0. A. Andrews. Mrs. Andrews was born July 25, 1885, the fourth child and oldest daughter of Stephen Jackson Smith and Mrs. Mary Jane Hale Smith, both members of prominent and influential families of Butts County. Her father wrote articles published in the Progress-Argus under the name of “Plow Handles.” The name Sallie came from deference to two aunts, Mrs. Sallie Hale (Joel B.) Wat kins, Sr., and Mrs. Sallie Smith (F. S.) Etheridge. The name Ophelia was given because it was pretty, unusual and struck her parent’s fancy. Mrs. Andrews was edu cated at Sandy Plain School. At an early age she joined the Towaliga Baptist Church and today is its oldest member. Through faith, love, and service she has grown into one of God’s finest people. Grief came to her at an early age for at 17 her mother died with pneumonia. As the eldest daughter she fulfilled her mother’s place to overflowing capacity as the lady in the home. She worked diligently for the family, sending her younger brothers and sisters to school, preserved food by drying and canning, yet had time for neighbors. Though she never had a day of formal training in caring for the sick, Mrs. Andrews soon was recog nized as a competent and efficient nurse with a God-given talent for caring and administering to those sick and infirm. With TO MY PATIENTS My medical practice here in Jackson will close August 30, 1975. I have made this decision after much thought and consideration. Many of you have asked me about this over the past few months. I have only made this decision after waiting to see how the month of July turned out, and financially do not see how I can continue to maintain my office. As you know, the recession has hit us all hard. In addition Medicaid and Medicare have promised more than they can afford to pay I have unpaid Medicaid state ments dating as far back as 1972. I have not joined the Navy, Army or anything else, but am considering this as well as salaried work such as Emergency Room coverage or group practice. If you wish copies of your medical records sent to an other physician, please come by and sign a release so the records can be legally transferred. Thank you all for your trust and friendship.
