  Notes	Andrew was shown as a farmer and was living with his brother William and family in High Forest, Olmsted County, Minnesota, at the time of the 1880 census. The June, 1895 Wisconsin state census for Waupaca County showed Andrew Williams’ household had 4 males, 3 females, all 7 born in the United States. He was the Waupaca County sheriff at about that time. There is a biographical sketch of Andrew in the 1895 history of the upper Wisconsin River counties. The facts and events shown here assume that Ove’s son Andrew is the Andrew Williams living on Maple Street in Waupaca in the 1900 census. He was a railroad officer. Could not find him in Waupaca in the 1905 state census. In the 1908 Bellingham, Washington, city directory, he is Andrew Williams, sheriff of Whatcom County, living at the Whatcom County Courthouse. In the 1910 and 1911 Bellingham city directories, he is a deputy U.S. Marshal living at 1513 E. In the 1910 census, that Andrew was a widower living on E Street in Bellingham, Whatcom County, Washington. Living with him was Bert, 23, a railroad clerk, Lynde, 21, no occupation, and Esther, 17, no occupation. Andrew is a U. S. Marshal. He is not listed in the 1912 Bellingham directory. In the 1914 and 1917 directories, he is still living at 1513 E. His occupation is “merchant patrol.” (This is probably his son.) In the 1918 Bellingham directory, he lives at 1513 E. His occupation is “police.” In the 1920 Bellingham directory, he lives with his daughter and her family at 1408 Humboldt. He is a desk sergeant for the Bellingham police department. In the 1920 census, Andrew, 63 and a widower, is living with his daughter and her family in Bellingham. He is a desk sergeant at police headquarters. In the 1921 Bellingham directory, he lives at 2610 Michigan. Andrew is a desk sergeant for the police department. In the 1923 Bellingham directory, he still lives at 2610 Michigan. No occupation. An article in the February 12, 1925, edition of the Bellingham Herald: Andrew Williams, sheriff of Whatcom county about 20 years ago and acting chief of police for a time during Mayor E. T. Mathes’ administration, died this morning at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Esther Day, at Okanogan, Washington. He had been in ill health for several months. A telegram telling of his death was received by W. W. Fairburn. Mr. Williams had lived in Bellingham for many years and was esteemed by hundreds of Bellingham residents. He was one of the county’s most popular violinists of the old school, delighting to play for old-time dances. He is survived by one daughter, Mrs. Esther Day, and one son, Lynde Williams, now at Okanogan. Mr. Williams was a member of the Bellingham Bay Lodge, No. 44, F, & A. M. The remains will be received Friday night by O. R. Hollingsworth.
