Andrew N. is indicated as being born June 1850. They own their home free of mortgage. Andrew is still working as a tinsmith.
The 1910 census has him as Andrew M. again still living in Cherry Valley. Possibly Mary died before 1910. Andrew is still actively working as a tinsmith at a hardware store.
In the 1920 census they are still around, living at Main Street. Andrew is still working as a tinsmith, this time in a creamery. By 1930 Andrew is a widower, but still working.
