Andrew E. Poole, Son of Andrew J. and Margaret (Jamison) Poole

© Kathy Duncan, 2018

Andrew Edmond Pool was the son of Andrew Jackson and Margaret (Jamison) Pool. He was born 3 July 1864 and died 15 September 1912. Those dates appear in Andrew Jackson Pool's bible. The 1900 census and his tombstone give his name as Andrew J. Poole rather than Andrew E. Poole. That may suggest, but does not prove, that his name was Andrew Jackson Edmond Poole.

Andrew Edmond Pool married Josephine (Haner?) in about 1897 or 1898. The voter registration book for San Francisco County, California of 1898 notes that he was a blacksmith, standing 5 feet 9 inches with gray eyes and brown hair, and missing four fingers on his right hand.

Andrew and Josephine have just been married for two years, and during that time she gave birth to two children, of whom none survived. Four years later, Andrew had left Josephine, and she filed for divorce.


By 1910, Andrew E. Poole had married Francis G. Gies in October 1907. The census confirms that this is a second marriage for Andrew and a first marriage for Francis. Francis was working at her husband's leather goods shop.

Two months after the census was taken, Andrew hand wrote his will on a piece of business stationery. When he died two years later, it was filed by Josephine in San Francisco County, California.




Andrew Edmond Poole died two years later on 15 September 1915 in San Francisco, California. He was buried in Mountain View Cemetery in Fresno, California. Like the 1900 census, his tombstone provides the name Andrew J. Poole rather than Andrew E. Poole.
