Biographical Sketch of Justin Andrews

Justin Andrews, journalist, was born in Worcester county, Mass., in 1819. When a young man he became connected with the Boston Daily Times as a reporter. On Dec. 1, 1844, he joined the staff of the Boston Eagle. When the Boston Herald was started in 1846 Mr. Andrews became identified with it, returning temporarily to the Times, which paper he left permanently in 1856 to become assistant editor on the Herald, then published by E.C. Bailey. On April 1, 1869, in conjunction with his brother, Charles H. Andrews, E. B. Haskell, R. M. Pulsifer and G. G. Bailey, he bought the interest of E. C. Bailey, and for four years longer remained as one of the Herald's editors. On Jan. 1, 1873, Mr. Andrews disposed of his interest and retired from newspaper life, after thirty years' service. He died at his home in Newton, Mass., Aug. 31, 1894.
