Andrew Jackson HYDE was born in Dawson county, Georgia, March 14, 1839. He lived on a farm until 1863 when he joined the army, serving until the close of the struggle in 1865. He served as corporal to Co. A. 1 Regiment Georgia Volunteer infantry. At the time of his death he was a member of the G.A.R. Phil Sheridan Post No. 18, Grand Junction, Colo.
He came to Colorado in June, 1870, and to Eagle county July 10, 1880, later to Grand Junction in 1909, residing there until March last, returning again to Eagle, where he remained until the time of his death, October 18, 1920. As one of Colorado's most enterprising and industrious citizens he was engaged to the cattle business for some time in Park county and to him belongs the distinction of building the first flour mill on the Western Slope at Glenwood Springs. The latter part of his life was spent principally in farming and fruit growing.
He was united in marriage to Louisa Emeline ANDERSON, at Dawson, Georgia, November 6, 1865. To them were born seven children, five daughters and two sons, four of these surviving, Bert of Edwards, Mrs. VAN HORN of McCoy, Walter of Grand Junction, and Laura LIVINGSTONE of Eagle. Besides these are seven grand children and two great grand children.
He was brought up in the Baptist church, having united with that church at his earlier home in Georgia. His life was noted for industry, strictly temperate habits of life. The surviving members of the family cherish memories of a loving, faithful father; and no one in need found in him any taint of selfishness. He was particularly tenderhearted and generous in his thoughts for needy children.
Funeral services at residence of Bert Hyde, at Edwards, Wednesday at 2 p.m., by Rev. L. G. HONNOLD. Burial in Edwards cemetery.
