Word was received in Phoenix yesterday of the death of Judge Henry T.
Andrews at Prescott. Death came late Thursday night and was due to an
acute attack of asthma.
Judge Andrews was one of the best known citizens of the state, having
served in many offices with distinction. He was a member of the upper
house of the territorial legislature some ten years ago and was the
author of the mine tax law known as the "Andrews bill," which prevailed
until 1912.
Judge Andrews cam to Arizona over thirty years ago, locating at first
on Lynx creek in Yavapai county, where he engaged in placer mining.
During this period of his life, he worked indefatigably, working the
rocker during the day and studying law t night. It was largely due to
his legal knowledge acquired in this way that led to his election to
the office of Justice of the peace of Walker precinct. Later he moved
to Prescott where he won the reputation of being a conscientious and
able lawyer.
Judge Andrews was born in Indiana about 74 years ago. During the civil
war he served the union cause. He is survived by two daughters, Miss
Laura Andrews, who was with him at the end, and Mrs. Lelle Toohey of
this city, who was called to Prescott yesterday by the word of her
father's death.
Interment will be made at Prescott.
