the quoted newspaper article gives his surname as "Andrew," his headstone is clearly engraved to read "Andrews."
Older Census records (for his parents), as well as both his parents' headstones, are engraved as "Andrew," however, it appears that he and at least one of his brothers adopted the name as "Andrews."
Thanks for your consideration.
