Biographical History

Lee County, Ill., merchant.

Born in 1824 in Jerusalem, N.Y., raised as a farmer, and educated at the Franklin Academy in Prattsburgh, N.Y., William B. Andruss married Dolly Bell in 1846, and in 1847 they had one child, Virgil B. Andruss. In 1855 Andruss traveled to Michigan and Illinois seeking a new home and career, and finally settled with his family in Amboy, Lee County, Ill., where he and his wife opened a daguerrotype and ambrotype studio. A hardware merchant by 1866, Andruss held numerous local public offices and was also active in church and temperance affairs.
