~ i- lot ha h.
consistent patriot In modern history.
His mother had four sons in the Union
army, of whom only one came back.
One died in Florence Prison, one was
killed at Charlottesville and the other
at Sailors Run. Charles F. Andrews
lost an arm at Petersburg. and when ne
came back home the Governor commits
stoned him a Captain on his staff but
he never served, being too busy with
his farm. When her boys enlisted in
the Spring of 1861 Comrade Andrews's
mother raised Flag, which was kept
flying until Charles came back after
Petersburg. He has one Flag which
flies all the time, but on Memorial Day,
the 4th of July and the anniversaries OF
the II battles in which he took part he
has a larger and finer one which he
runs up on pole 20 feet high. This
has cost him no little privation, for his
earnings for years after the war were
small and the people thought him crazy.
but he was Industrious. thrifty and pros
porous, so that his acres increased and
his flocks multiplied. He says that the
Flag shall stay there as long as he
lives and as long as his children and
grandchildren observe his wishes. ;

it would be impossible for him to ac-
cept.
