Capt. Jesse Andrews Dead.
The many relatives and friends of the above named gentleman will regret to hear of his death, which occurred at his home in Griffin on Saturday. He was born and raised in this county but has been away living in Griffin since the war. He was never married.
Of Captain Andrews the Griffin News and Sun says: "the immediate cause of his death was from the effects of a wound received in the battle of Chicamauga on the 9th of September, 1862, while gallantly fighting at the head of his company. Captain Andrews was an excellent officer and thorough soldier, and could he have rejoined his command would have risen even higher in rank in the army.
He went out as Junior Second Lieutenant with Company F, of Butts County, Thirtieth Georgia Regiment. He was promoted to the Captaincy of his company on May 9, 1862, for valiant service.
