Writer and educator Eliza Frances Andrews died in Rome, Georgia. She wasthe daughter of Judge
Garnett Andrews, who hosted many dignitaries in his home and traveledextensively during the Civil War.
His daughter kept a diary of the events, people, and emotions sheexperienced during the course of the
war. Determined to be more than a wife, Andrews turned to teaching andwriting after the war. She
attacked Reconstruction in an article published in the New York World in1865. Moving on to novels she
published three: A Family Secret (1876), A Mere Adventurer (1879), andThe Romance of a Rich Young
Man (1882). All three works reflect her own independence in that theheroines also seek independence in
the arts or literary pursuits.

Andrews taught in girls' schools in Yazoo City, Miss. and in her hometownof Washington, Ga. -- but her
longest teaching job was at Wesleyan College in Macon, where she taughtFrench and literature for eleven
years. Andrews continued to publish articles, often under a malepseudonym, until 1903 -- when she
turned to textbook writing. Long having had an interest in botany,Andrews published Botany All Year
Around in 1903, followed up with A Practical Course in Botany in 1911.But by far her most famous
work was published in 1908, when she edited the diary she had kept as ayoung girl during the Civil War
and published it as War-Time Journal of a Georgia Girl. This work remainsone of the better primary
sources for historical study of the Civil War and its effects onfamilies. Andrews moved to Rome, Ga. in
her latter years, dying there in 1931.

Miss Frances Andrews, born 1841, died Jan.
21, 1931 at her home in Rorne, Ga., was a daughter of
Garnett Andrews and Annulet Ball Andrews. She was
an internationally known scientist and an outstand-
ing contributor to research in the field of natural
science. She was the only American woman to be
nominated to membership In the International Academy
of Literature-Science by the Italian government.
She was invited to deliver an address to that body,
but declined because of her age. Theodore Roosevelt
and Woodrow Wilson were the other Americans to be
elected to membership.
Miss Andrews was 90 years old, August 10,
1930, and was born at Washington, Ga. She was a
member of the first graduating class at La Grange
College, and later continued her study and taught at
Wesleyan College. During her early life, she wrote
many works of fiction, the best known of which is
"The Wartime Journal or a Georgia Girl." Her other
novels were "A Family Secret," "A Mere Adventure,"
"Prince Hal," "How He Was Tempted," "The Story of an
Ugly Girl," and "The Mistake of His Life." One of
her books on botany was adopted by the French govern-
ment as a textbook for its public schools. Many of
her articles of a scientific nature have been pub-
lished in leading scientific journals. Until her
death she pursued her research and writing, although
suffering from physical infirmities. Major Marshall
Andrews, U.S.A., was her brother. He was in charge
at one time of the development of the Coosa River and
was the engineer designing the dams and locks now
functioning.
Taken from her obituary in "Atlanta
Georgian" Jan. 22, 1931.
