He suffered a fracture of the hip last summer and since that time, has never been really well; and has declined rapidly in health since the death of his wife, Mrs. Mary Reid Andrews, about two months ago. Judge Andrews, who was 78 years of age, has served as ordinary of Taliaferro county for 28 years and his close attention to his business is proverbial throughout the county. He read law under the late Alexander H. Stephens, and during his service as judge of superior court for several years, it was said that never once was his decision reversed by the supreme court. He was a graduate of Mercer University. During his long tenure of office as ordinary he has never had opposition. Having lost his only child, several years ago, no immediate member of his family survives, although he has a number of nieces and nephews in Taliaferro county, and other relatives in that county, and Greene county. Mr. Pierre Ramp, Miss Ramp and Mrs. Ada Ramp Walden are the Augusta relatives of Judge Andrews. The Augusta Chronicle, Monday March 11, 1929 FUNERAL HELD FOR JUDGE M. Z.

Z. Andrews, ordinary of Taliaferro county, and by virtue of that office also clerk of board of county commissioners, has a rather unusual record in point of punctuality as well as enviable record as an official. Judge Andrews assumed the duties of this office the first of January 1901, and from the beginning of his term to the ordinary’s court and meeting of county commissioners this week he has never been absent from his office any first Monday, the day for ordinary’s court, or any first Tuesday, the day for the meeting of county commissioners. This means that he has held his court without missing a term for 125[?-blurred] terms and that he has served the county commissioners as clerk for 126 meetings without missing a single time. This is rather a remarkable record, but from indications Judge Andrews will continue to hold these offices for some time to come and will doubtless make his record in these particulars even more remarkable.
