Thomas Andrews obituary, 1900
From the New Jersey Courier 3 May 1900
Thomas Andrews, a life long resident of Tuckerton, who died recently in his 58th year, served in the civil war and was wounded at the battle of Fredericksburg. While with the several Tuckerton men of Co. K 23rd Regiment, a shell burst in their midst killing Reuben Gaskill, and injuring several others. A piece of shell struck Mr. Andrews in the hand, injuring it badly, the gun which he held being bent almost double. He was taken to Washington and there suffered from his wound and typhoid fever and was brought through only by careful nursing of his father who went from Tuckerton for that purpose.
