Biography

The first name has also been written as Jean and the age is sometimes referred to as 35 years. Confirmation of either has so far not been possible. The following article in the Coolgardie Miner, dated Saturday 14 July 1894, states: "A recent arrival at Hannan's, named Jean Andrews, died on the journey in to Coolgardie last Thursday. Andrews, who was ailing, was, through the kindness of the local Progress Committee, placed on a team to be brought in to the hospital. The journey, however, proved too much for his strength. At the post mortem, it was found that he died from natural causes." Inquest 12th and 13 July Court House Coolgardie before Gordon Lyon JP - Police Gazette 25 July 1894 page 141
