COL. JAMES ANDREWS-Tribute to the man who built the Masonry of
the Eads Bridge:
>From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, July 8.
Col. James Andrews, who constructed all the masonry for the great Eads
bridge, built the big St. Louis tunnel, and also did much work on the
jetties at the mouth of the Mississippi, is dead. News reached St.
Louis yesterday that the well-known engineer died at his home in
Pittsburgh, Pa, at the age of 72 years. His death came rather suddenly,
and was caused by Bright's disease. For a year and a half he had
been ailing, but his condition was not thought to be serious. A
week ago he was suddenly stricken and his children were summoned to his
bedside. Mrs. Alexander G. Cochran, of number 7 Westmoreland
place, a daughter, left for Pittsburgh two days ago, accompanied by her
husband and son, John T. Cochran. The house in which Col. Andrews died
is on what is known as Nunnery Hill. It was one of the many
beautiful edifices he had erected in Pittsburgh. He was known as a
genius among the great engineers of the century and the massive masonry
of the Eads bridge is but one of the many monuments of his skill.
Born of poor parents at New Abbey, Dumfrieshire, Scotland, he came to
America when a boy and worked at his trade of stonemason. By
persistent effort he worked his way upward until he became one of the
most prominent engineers of masonry in the country. His crowning
success was the contract for the great St. Louis bridge across the
Father of Waters. He came to St. Louis early in the 70's,m and
from that time on was closely associated with Capt. James B. Eads until
the
latter's death. Although Col. Andrews had no schooling as a boy,
he successfully superintended the placing of every inch of stone which
went into the construction of the big bridge of its abutments and
approaches. All in all, 102,897.6 cubic yards of stone were used, and
the total amount paid to Col. Andrews for the work was $1,831,244.75
divided up as follows: West Approach $319,881.60 West pier
$279,437.00 West Abutment $257,181.72 East pier $336,744.00
East Abutment $388,138.97 East Approach 98,646.50 Boats for masonry
$ 51,184.28 Total $1,831,244.75 Capt. Eads reposed the greatest
confidence in Col. Andrews and after the completion of the bridge and
the tunnel running beneath the downtown section of this city from the
western approach of the bridge to Eighth and Spruce Streets he engaged
him to build the jetties
at the mouth of the Mississippi river. Col. Andrews
accumulated a large fortune. He was
well known in St. Louis and made frequent trips from Pittsburgh to visit
relatives and friends here. Col. Henry Flad of the Mississippi river
commission who was also associated with Capt. Eads in the construction
of the bridge was a close friend of the deceased. Col Andrews never
forgot his old hometown in Scotland and the flourishing little village
of New Abbey has him to thank for most of the improvements. In
fact, the village is mostly populated by distant relatives of the
deceased, and every year or two Col. Andrews would visit his birthplace.
The beautiful little village
among the hills put on its gala to celebrate his
coming and the whole town had a general holiday. end of article
