classical scholar and linguist of more
than usual ability. and because of his
distinguished appearance, friendly man
ner and great simplicity of character,
Mr.. Andrews has for many years had
q large circle of friends both in Wash
ington and elsewhere. He was a mem
ber of both the Metropolitan and Chevy
Chase clubs. Advancing years did not
affect Mr. Andrews ~fondness for horse
back riding and he was long a familiar
figure as an early morning equestrian.
His influence in all matters pertaining
to art in the National Capital was i'm
portant.
For Il number of years examples of
his worl, in the portraits of Martha
Washington and Dolly Madison hung
in the White House. The former is still
there, having been purchased by the
federal government. while that of Mrs.
Madison now hangs in MemoriaLAonti-
mental Hall, having been donated to the

George W. Oyster, one of Washing
tons Oldest residents, and a business
man here for many years, today is cell
ebrating the eighty-eighth anniversary
of his birth. He received many re-
membranes and tokens of best wishes
from his numerous friends and rela-
tives.
Born near Emlnittshurg. Nd, Mr..
Oyster removed to Georgetown with
his father when but a small boy. Later
his father bought a farm at Trinidad,
east of Kendall Green, and remained
there until the time of his death.
Mr.. Oyster received his early educa-
ton at the school Of Charles Fl. Nurse
& Bro. and even now has a book which
was presented to him July 81, 1S45,
for his skill in "dec1airing,' one OF
the then popular closing day forms of
exhibition. Incidentally. Mr. oyster
has never read that book, The Tat
ler.''
Later he went to a school in Maine.
where he prepared to enter Bowdon
College. He was called home, how
ever, by the illness of his father be-
fore he entered the college, and never
returned, his father dying soon after
his return.
Lives at Same Place Sixty Years.
Mr.. Oyster has lived at his present
home 212 East Capitol street, for
about sixty years, and was married
there When he first moved to his pres
ent residence. with one exception, no
pavements were to be found. Gravel
walks and earth roads radiated TO the
various sections of the city. He was
one of the first to sign for pavement
on East Capitol street.
One of his nearest neighbors was E.
g. French. Near him, ON East Capitol
street between 1st and I'd streets, a
market existed when he first took up
his residence there. During his resi-
dence in Washington Mr.. Oyster met a
large number of men prominent both
the young men with whom he went to
school In Maine later became prom
inent in various fields.
Mr.. Oyster is not a veteran of the
civil war, because. as he says, he had
to stay at home and help feed the gov
ernment off1cials." He supplied Presi-
dent Lincoln, Secretary Stanton of the
War Department and many other high
officials with food during the great
conflict between the north and the
south.
He heard Daniel Webster speak on
one occasion, and always looks back
upon it with JOY. he says. Mr Oysters
friends believe that he missed his vo-
cation when, because of his fathers
death. he had to return from school
and give up his idea of studying law
He was always good at declaiming-
OF which his gift book bears testi-
nony Of at least one instance-and
also rather enjoyed il He was also
known as good fellow" among his
fellow students

During the time that he has lived
on East Capitol street he has seen the
northeast and southeast sections Of
the city developed from farm lands
and great vacant lots to two great
residential sections. He has seen the
horse and carriage give way before
