Fran, Industry has always been in Austin County, the Colonial Capital of Texas. Industry is also the first permanent German settlement in Texas. Perhaps your relatives lived on the border (near Willow Springs) of Fayette and Austin Cos. and found it easier to retrieve mail from Industry. There are Andreas families in Nelsonville and Cat Spring. Sharing. It's What It's All About!
