With kindest regards, H. F. ANDREWS. AUDUBON, IowA, November, lSUO. ORIGIN OF THE NAME. Andrews ·is a Christian name. The English word .Andrew, and its equivalents in other languages has been used as a name for members:-of the human family from the time of remote antiquity. 1'111..- l'l.-A~'iP _,,...,:i _, _ _!_ n-..nnnnnl'Arl ...,.;+.l, +.l,.,. lnnfJ' Qnnnrl nf +.l,.,. .LJ.IC y,1.g-.;,.a. """.,_ -''''f~' r-------- ·•--•-----a:,-----~- .;-- last n, Anar, signifies a man, in the most comprehensive sense. The Latin word .Andreas, signifies a man, or manly, or like amm,. The English word .Andrew means the same. It was the name of the first disciple of Jesus. One commen­ tator suggests, that probably the apostle had also a Hebrew nume, and that the name .Andrew was given to characterize his manly spirit, as his brother, whose Hebrew name was Simon, was called Peter, the rock:. · Perhaps this W'!-8 about the earliest use to be found in history, of the word as the name of nn individunl. Because of the fnct that it was ~e name of so . distinguished and illustrious a personage in the annals of Christian history, it is not improbable, but quite natural for the believers and followers of Christ and his apostles to adopt and continue this name; the same as at present -people name their children after noted and illustrious persons. The home of : Andrew was at Betl1S11idn, in Gallilee, then a Roman province. · It is supposed that after the Crucifixion, this apostle preached in Scythia, Greece and Epirus, and finally suffered martyrdom : at Patrm in Achaia, A. n~ 62 or 70, on a cross called St. '. Andrew's Cross, formed thus: X 8 LI!STUltY UP 'l'H.1~ .A.NDHE\VS l'Al\iijlY. Sf. Andl'ew, is the patron Saint of Scotland, 1111d is also held in great veneration in Russia us the apostle who according to tradition first preached Christianity in that country. In both countries there is an order of Knighthood named in his honor. If these traditious are based upon facts, there were opportu­ nities to spread nnd perpetuate the name. Comm1micatio11 between the Jewish provinces and Rome, at that period, would 11at.urnlly take the name to the latter pince; and it would become coinecl into the Latin language; even if it had not been already borrowml from tlie Greek; just us we coin new wonb into onr language to-day. Names or nouns are wonl<; most reaclily borrowed. It was the most natural thing for the early Christians to pre­ serve the names of their sniuts; their first teachers and preach­ ers; their authorities in doctrinal mutter; they were land marks, so to speak. · 'l'here are no acquirements more firmly imprci.;srnl upon tho tliiferent races of r,eople, than their religious customs nllll us11ges. It may have been considered a mark of distinction -to bear the name of a martyred Christian. It may have been regarded n <lnty by the Church to perpetuate the names of its saints and martyrs, by bestowing them upon living individuals. The signification of the name itself, alone, renders it peculiarly appropriate ns a na~e for mna ,Vhen the name became established once us a familiar one with the Romans,· it naturally spread through Christendom, to every place where the Roman arms were victorious; or where the Christian religion was established, and so we fiud it all over Europe; Anclrea in Italy; Andreas in Germany; Andre and Audrieux in France; Aud.res in Spain; and Andrew with its various terminations and corruptions in England.. In England it is a very old us well us common name; prob­ ably carried there by the Romans, Five hundred years of Roman rule was sufficient to permanently fix the name there. The English books on Heraldry give a full description of many Coals of A1·ms of the different branches of the family. Like many other old English names, the orthography has been corrupted; there nre various terminations which have ns little signification ns the Coa.fs of Anus; the· name is spelled variously, thus: Andrew, Andrews, Andrewes, Auclros, A.n­ dross, Andrus, Andruss, .,\ ndras, Anders, Androse, j ndrowes, Androuse, Andores, &c., &c. Antiquaries give little heed to the mere spelling of names; either by living individuals or as found in records; ns evidence of relationship; other tests must be considered. It is l!ot uncommon to find known relatives at the present t.ime who spell their names differently; Two hundred yen.rs ago mul prior to thnt time there were no stnndnrds for English ot·thography; the people spelled very carelessly, ench to please his fnucy, any way and every way; many were then unable to read or write at all and trusted such matters to public scriveners nnd to the parish officials; one clerk would spell the name in his peculiar manner, while the clerk in a neighboring town spelled it difl'orcntly; long continuance in the same place by the snme family, tended to the adoption of a form of the nnme peculiar to a given family of relatives, while.. the separation of 1·elntivcs, exhibited frequently, a marked difference in the nnme. In such ways the forms of the name have multiplied. It is n wonder that our names have been so well preserved. EARLY SETTLEMENT IN AMERICA. It is the purpose of this work to deal particularly with the Andrews family in America, and with the facts an<l circum­ stances surrounding their early settlement here. •ro understand the family history better, one should have a g~od knowledge of English and Colonial history of those times. The greater number of people in this country named Andrews are of English origin. We may safeiy date the settiement of the family among the early emigrants to Massachusetts Bay Colony about the year 1630; a brief survey of the history of this settlement will inter­ est and assist us. In March, 1G28, a company of six gentlemen in England, purchased from the Plymouth l :.mpany. the terri­ tory extending from a line three miles north of the l\Ierrirunck river; thence to o. line three miles south of the Charles river; from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean. These purchasers soon afterward conveyed an interest b their purchase to others, and the nn~nber of joiu-t proprietors soon became m:~ch enlarged. They assumed the title of "The 1\fossaclm..;eas Bay Compnny," nnd in a few dayH cl10.a;e Matt.hew Cn1.llock, n weal­ thy merchant of London; their governor nud Thomas Goil'e, also a London merchant, deputy governor. In June Hi28, J olm Endicott, a Puritan of the sternest iype 11 was sent over with a compru:;y of emigrants who landed at Salem (Naumkeag), and commenced the settlement of that ancient towu. Eudicott was one of the original purchasers of the Plymouth Company mu.l was appointed governor of the colony but not of the company; the governor and government of the latter, remained in England, and gave instructions for the government of the colony. Mr. Roger Conant, with three others, bad fixed their abode at Salem previously, but as he had not been sent there by the company, his st:ittlement was not allowed to give <late to the settlement of the town. .March 4; 1626, a chart-er was obtained from King Charles I, incorporating them as the "Governor and Company of l\fossnchusetts Bay in New England;" the stock­ holders to elect annually, a governor, deputy governor, ancl eighteen assistnnts, who were to administer the affairs of the colony in monthly meetings.

  • Vindicating Capitalism: the Real History of the Standard Oil Company
    Vindicating Capitalism: The Real History of the Standard Oil Company By Alex Epstein Who were we that we should succeed where so many others failed? Of course, there was something wrong, some dark, evil mystery, or we never should have succeeded!1 —John D. Rockefeller The Standard Story of Standard Oil In 1881, The Atlantic magazine published Henry Demarest Lloyd’s essay “The Story of a Great Monopoly”—the first in- depth account of one of the most infamous stories in the history of capitalism: the “monopolization” of the oil refining market by the Standard Oil Company and its leader, John D. Rockefeller. “Very few of the forty millions of people in the United States who burn kerosene,” Lloyd wrote, know that its production, manufacture, and export, its price at home and abroad, have been controlled for years by a single corporation—the Standard Oil Company... The Standard produces only one fiftieth or sixtieth of our petroleum, but dictates the price of all, and refines nine tenths. This corporation has driven into bankruptcy, or out of business, or into union with itself, all the petroleum refineries of the country except five in New York, and a few of little consequence in Western Pennsylvania... the means by which they achieved monopoly was by conspiracy with the railroads... [Rockefeller] effected secret arrangements with the Pennsylvania, the New York Central, the Erie, and the Atlantic and Great Western... After the Standard had used the rebate to crush out the other refiners, who were its competitors in the purchase of petroleum at the wells, it became the only buyer, and dictated the price.

  • The Dismantling of the Standard Oil Trust
    The Dismantling of The Standard Oil Trust The saga of Standard Oil ranks as one of the most dramatic episodes in the history of the U.S. economy. It occurred at a time when the country was undergoing its rapid transformation from a mainly agricultural society to the greatest industrial powerhouse the world has ever known. The effects of Standard Oil on the U.S., as well as on much of the rest of the world, were immense, and the lessons that can be learned from this amazing story are possibly as relevant today as they were a century ago. Standard Oil Company was founded by John D. Rockefeller in Cleveland, Ohio in 1870, and, in just a little over a decade, it had attained control of nearly all the oil refineries in the U.S. This dominance of oil, together with its tentacles entwined deep into the railroads, other industries and even various levels of government, persisted and intensified, despite a growing public outcry and repeated attempts to break it up, until the U.S. Supreme Court was finally able to act decisively in 1911. John D. Rockefeller John Davidson Rockefeller was born the second of six children into a working class family in Richford, (upstate) New York in 1839. In 1853, the family moved to a farm in Strongsville, Ohio, near Cleveland. Under pressure from his father, Rockefeller dropped out of high school shortly before commencement and entered a professional school, where he studied penmanship, bookkeeping, banking and commercial law. In 1859 Edwin Drake struck oil in Titusville, in western Pennsylvania.

  • Titan: the Life of John D. Rockefeller
    Titan: The Life of 207 & 208 John D. Rockefeller, Sr. Reviewed by Robert Schmidt By Ron Chernow About the Author Ron Chernow won the National Book Award in 1990 for his first book, The House of Morgan, and his second book, The Warburgs, won the Eccles Prize as the Best Business Book of 1993. This biography of John D. Rockefeller, Sr., Titan, was a national bestseller and a National Book Critics Circle Award finalist. Other great biographies by Chernow include Alexander Hamilton, Grant, and Washington: A Life. I recommend them all! About the Book From the acclaimed, award-winning author of Alexander Hamilton: here is the essential, endlessly engrossing biography of John D. Rockefeller, Sr.—the Jekyll-and-Hyde of American capitalism. In the course of his nearly 98 years, Rockefeller was known as both a rapacious robber baron, whose Standard Oil Company rode roughshod over an industry, and a philanthropist who donated money lavishly to universities and medical centers. He was the terror of his competitors, the bogeyman of reformers, the delight of caricaturists—and an utter enigma. Drawing on unprecedented access to Rockefeller’s private papers, Chernow reconstructs his subjects’ troubled origins (his father was a swindler and a bigamist) and his single-minded pursuit of wealth. But he also uncovers the profound religiosity that drove him “to give all I could”; his devotion to his father; and the wry sense of humor that made him the country’s most colorful codger. Titan is a magnificent biography—balanced, revelatory, elegantly written. The Book’s ONE THING We study the lives of famous people who have impacted the world in order to better understand our own impact on the world.

As far back as History goes we have conclusive proof that man has traded commodities with his fellow -men. At first these exchanges were in the form of barter,a man would trade something which he had and did not care much for,with another man who had something he desired more. It was necessary then in order to trade that there be a double coincidence,that is a man who has something to dispose of meet another man who wishes the commodity which the first has and in turn has something that the first man desires. It is very difficult to transact business under these cir- cumstances. People who come in contact with some of the primitive tribes of today find it necessary to have on hand constantly a stool of cheap gaudy goods to exchange for food and needed articles.

  • John D. Rockefeller
    John D. Rockefeller punk and heavy metal. The result was music featuring distorted guitar and a fuzzy sound caused by amplifier feedback. The lyrics were filled with apathy and angst. Arguably the most popular grunge band was Nirvana, whose frontman Kurt Cobain (1967–1994) died of a drug overdose in 1994. Cobain’s death seemed to signal the end of the grunge era, and the post-grunge sound evolved. This was a more radio-friendly, pop-sound- ing form. Popular post-grunge musicians include Tori Amos (1963–), Foo Fighters, Creed, Collective Soul, Alanis Morissette (1974–), Fiona Apple (1977–), and Jewel (1974–). Twenty-first century By the end of the twentieth century, the rock genre was splintered. For early rock enthusiasts, the genre was a form of rebellion, a way to ques- tion authority and rally the young. By the 1980s, the cable channel MTV had infused the genre and all its subcategories with a sense of com- mercialism. Rock and roll purists considered this a sellout, an unforgiv- ing compromise. At the start of the twenty-first century, the heirs of pure rock continued to make their own kind of music. John D. Rockefeller John Davison Rockefeller was born on July 8, 1839, the second of six children in a modest farming family in New York. The Rockefellers moved to Ohio in 1853. Two years later, young Rockefeller left high school to enroll in a six-month college business course. He finished the course in three months and then spent six weeks looking for work. He found a job as an assistant bookkeeper.
