ANDREW J. BRAME was born June 18, 1830, in Person County, N. C. He is a son of Thomas and Nancy (Royster) Brame. His father was born in Virginia, and his mother in Grandville County, N. C. About 1838 the family immigrated to Kentucky, and settled in Christian County; two years later they moved to Hopkins (now Webster) County, and engaged in farming. The father died in 1874, aged eighty-three. The mother died about 1835. Andrew J. was reared on his father's farm, and at the age of twenty-one he rented a farm, and later bought a farm of seventy-eight acres. He now owns 248 acres of land, largely improved, all of which he has earned by constant attention to business and good management. He was married, in 1857, to Nancy Cavanah, of Webster County. She died in December, 1878, leaving one son and four daughters; Mary Alice is since deceased. His second marriage was in April, 1879, to Mrs. Osborn, formerly Mary Frazer, of Webster County. Mr. Brame has been a life long and consistent member of the United Baptist Church.
