THEY REACHED THE CITY IN THE REQUIRED TIME AND WIN THE WAGER        by: Ron Hanley
 
Lewis Andrews and Howard W. Laws of this city who started to walk to San Francisco on September 17, 1899, arrived there on March 11.  They had an interesting time on their trip.  Howard W. Laws was a bookkeeper in the lumber department of the Harlan and Hollingsworth Company and having a desire to travel persuaded Lewis Andrews, a friend of his, to accompany him on a trip across the continent, but as they were short of funds, three friends tried to dissuade them from attempting the trip. This led to a wager between two prominent men of this town. 
Laws and Andrews started from Wilmington, Del., on September 17, 1899, with 10 dollars each to go to San Francisco, Cal., and have 100 dollars each after paying all traveling expenses.  They went from Wilmington to Harrisburg and at this place, they procured soldier's uniforms, and fell into line with a company of troops who were bound for the Philippines. They rode 800 miles before they were detected and put off the train. 
They then went to St. Louis, Mo., where both secured work. Andrews worked in a dental works and Laws joined a theatrical company which  was playing in St. Louis.  The company, after finishing its engagement in St. Louis, went to New York.  Laws wanted to go West, so he left the company. He and Andrews then engaged in the Japanese flower business and were successful.  They stayed in St. Louis four months. 
By hard work and economy they saved 200 dollars between them.  They went to Kansas City about the 1st of February, 1900.  Then to Denver, then to Salt Lake City and Ogden, Utah.  They crossed the Great Desert and, spending some time with the Mormons, arrived at San Francisco, Cal., March 11 1900, over a week ahead of their allotted time and having in their possession 208 dollars between them.

Visiting after 52 years   In 1898 Lewis Andrews left the family homestead in the Chapin area and journeyed westward to California and the Pacific Northwest. He is now back again for his first visit in Ontario county in 52 years. In the above photo he is shown left chatting with his brother, Arthur Andrews, well known area farmer.

 

 
Lewis Andrews Home After 52 Years Stay in West and Hawaii 

Fifty two years ago Lewis Andrews left the family farm north of Canandaigua on the Andrews road, and departed for California and the West. He was then a young man of 22. Now he is back visiting his brother, Arthur Andrews for the first time after his long, half century absence. 

He recalls that it too him 14 days to make the trip to San Francisco. His return trip early this month took ten hours by plane.
He flew to New York and then came the rest of the way by train. Almost immediately he was aware that 52 years can bring a lot of changes. Officials in Grand Central terminal in New York had never heard of Chapin when he tried to buy his ticket. After exhausted search through timetables it was discovered to be a flag stop. Mr. Andrews says this was a shock to him. He recalled well when 17 of the 20 daily trains in 1899 on the Auburn line halted at Chapin. 
The countryside, Mr. Andrews says, looks as picturesque as ever. He has been in California, the Pacific Northwest, Hawaii and Alaska, but nowhere, he claims, is the landscape more striking than here. 
The home farm has, of course, changed. His father and mother, Herman and Esther Andrews, are both dead. So are many of his brothers and sisters. In fact Arthur Andrews, who is two years older, and he are the last two in the family. The brick school house down the road which he attended has gone, and has been replaced by the white frame school building which today's younger generation is attending. 
His brother, Arthur, was unmarried when he left home in 98. Now there are three children and ten grandchildren. Mrs. Arthur Andrews is the former Helen VanGelder, member of a strong and pleasant neighboring family. 
Both Lewis and Arthur Andrews have retained their vigor remarkably. Lewis Andrews at 74 has an ample shock of brown hair and a keen, active manner. Arthur Andrews at 76 is a strong, vigorous man. 
Mr. Andrews has seen a good deal of the world since he left home. He was in Alaska during the Klondike days, and saw men load bars of solid gold on ships and stack it on the open deck. He was in Siberia in the first years of this century assisting in the opening of a trading post. For 15 years he resided in Hawaii where he was engaged in the roofing business. He thinks Honolulu is a most appealing city, but says that anyone can acquire real laziness there. For the past 18 years he has been in San Francisco. Much of the time he has worked for the army post office.  
His plans for the future are uncertain. He may stay in the East, or if there is war he may go back to his old job. He is now retired.  I can do about as I want to he says. I have no family and I have had the wanderlust for years, and I may want to wander some more.
