Read More	Andrew was born, raised, and lived most of his life in an area near Asbury known as Zicafoose Hollow. His father, Caleb Zicafoose, had obtained this land and raised his family there. Like his father and at least two of his brothers, Andrew was a farmer. (The geographic coordinates for Andrew's farm were 37.821542, -80.540938.) In those days, farmers raised or made almost everything necessary to farm their land and support their families. They depended on horses for transportation and farm work. Their skills included blacksmithing to make various metal objects for use on the farm. They would take their grain to a local mill to be ground into flour, and they would tap maple trees to make maple syrup and sugar. Andrew also had his own sawmill and sawed lumber for various uses. This included cherry boards which his son-in-law, Cosmo Chase, made into a beautiful cupboard. The source and extent of Andrew's formal education is unknown, but his letters show beautiful penmanship, excellent grammar, and correct spelling. Andrew had one thumb which was very wide, the result of an accident where that thumb passed between two metal gears. In his old age, he had a cataract and wore a dark lens over that eye to shade it from the light. After his wife, Anna Belle, died, Andrew remained in his home for a time, with granddaughter Jean as housekeeper. After that, he lived alternately with his son Dwyer at Clintonville and his daughter Lora Chase on Muddy Creek Mountain. A short time before he died, he had a stroke while walking outside, fell, and fractured his collarbone. He died soon thereafter in Greenbrier Valley Hospital at Ronceverte.
