Andrew was born in 1894. He was the son of Andrew Wheaton and Evelina Babcock. He passed away in a car crash in 1954.[1]
He enlisted for military service in 1918, probably in response to the draft. He was a farmer at the time. He served less than a year with the POW internment facility in Amherst before being demobilized in 1919. After the war he was a miner.
