Levi B. and Laura A. Andrews were living in Horicon, NY, when there was born to them a son, to whom they gave the name of Luther Augustus. The date of his birth was May 5, 1845. One brother came to be a companion and playmate. Luther attended school and grew to young manhood in the rough and rugged hills of NY. Relatives of the Andrews family had imigrated to the middle west and the attractions were so alluring that Levi Andrews with his dear ones turned their faces in the same direction. During the Civil War, 1864, they moved into IA and settled in Linn Co. June 30, 1870, was another milestone in Luther's life, for on that day he led his bride, Lydia Brown, to the marriage altar. They began housekeeping on a part of the "Old Scott Place." Later they built a new home and lived there till the death of the wife and mother. To their union 6 children were born.
