From the period sources
Mark Andrews was a recipient of the Clemson anthem-prize, as recorded in Grove’s Dictionary of Music and Musicians: American Supplement (1920). While other musicians named Andrews appear in historical records, such as the English writer and composer Richard Hoffman Andrews and his sons, or the Mr. Andrews of Barn-Elms who hosted Handel for some months, the specific Mark Andrews is noted for this prize. Additionally, an H. G. Andrews is mentioned in Dictionary of Music (1896) and Dictionary of Music (1908) as excelling in ensemble playing, performing piano duets with Armin W. Dörner. J. W. Andrews, an organist, served as warden of the American Guild of Organists, according to Grove’s American Supplement (1920). Another George Whitfield Andrews, trained at Oberlin, Leipzig, Munich, and Paris, began as an organist in 1877 and was identified with Oberlin as a player, conductor, and teacher by 1920. The organ-building firm of Forster & Andrews, established in Hull since 1843, constructed organs for notable venues such as the Kinnaird Hall in Dundee and the City Temple in London, as detailed in A Dictionary of Music and Musicians (1879) and Grove’s Dictionary of Music and Musicians (1906).
