ANDREW M. MOREY, carpenter and builder, Maquoketa; is a native of Caledonia Co., Vt., and was born June 6, 1827. When very young, his parents removed to Cortland Co., N.Y. He grew up to manhood in that State, and learned the trade of carpenter and joiner. He came to Iowa and located in Maquoketa in March, 1 854, and began working at his trade. There is no one working here now at the business, that has been engaged in building as long as he and S.F. Brown. In February, 1848, he married Rosina Palmer, from New York State; she died in 1871, leaving six children - Sophia, Saphronia, Mary, Andrew, Benoni and Viola. In 1873, he married Mrs. Emma Crocker, a native of New York State.
