Judge Alfred Boles writes of his little brother's death ...

Andrew died while on board the steamer ship "Golden Eagle" while it was navigating the Mississippi River between Memphis and Cairo. At the time of his death, he was traveling with Mother and family to Illinois to escape the fighting during the Civil War conflict in Arkansas.

Mother had gone through so many hardships and suffering that for a while it seemed that she, the bravest and best woman in the world, could stand no more. As Andrew's spirit passed back to God, who gave it, she cried out "Oh God, why not take us all." Sister Malinda who was with us, together with her family said "Andrew is with Father now."

He was buried on the north bank of the Ohio River at and below Bowles' Coal Landing, five miles below Shawneetown, Illinois.
