ANDREW, FRED DELMAR, roentgenologist, was born in Ontario, N.Y., June 1, 1856, son of Alexander Charles and Cordelia Sophia (Willard) Andrew, grandson of William and Harriet (Peck) Andrew, and great-grandson of Alexander and Esther (Gilmer) Andrew. His great-grandfather came to this country from Ireland late in the eighteenth century and settled in Cambridge, N.Y., whence he moved to Auburn and Walworth, N.Y. His father was a farmer.

Fred Delmar Andrew attended the Newark, N.Y., High School and Cook Academy, Montour Falls, N.Y., and was graduated A.B. at the University of Rochester (N.Y.) and M.D. at Columbia University in 1887. In that year he began the general practice of medicine in Rochester, N.Y., where he was on the staff of the Rochester City (later General) Hospital, and was visiting physician in all other Rochester hospitals of the time. He first specialized in surgery but in 1896 began experimenting with X-ray, a year after Roentgen discovered it. He founded the department at Rochester City Hospital and was that institution's first roentgenologist. In 1908 his left hand became infected from x-ray burns and was amputated; he had later several operations on his right hand from the same cause. After the loss of his hand, in order to spare the other, Andrew was compelled until 1927 to live an out-of-door life and purchased and managed Lake Breeze Farm where during that period he grew apples, peaches, and cherries. He then returned to x-ray work and after studying and assisting at Rochester General and Strong Memorial Hospitals, he was from 1929 to 1932 on the staff of the latter as a chest specialist. From 1932 until his death he was in charge of the X-ray Department at Monroe County (Rochester) Hospital. In 1939 he was made honorary member of the Strong Memorial staff.

Dean of roentgenologists in Rochester, Andrew was one of the oldest of the early experimenters in this field of medicine in America. For many years he fought apathy and skepticism in the medical profession which originally looked on the x-ray as scarcely above sleight-of-hand and diagnostically worthless. With Henry E. Lawrence, Andrew designed and built his own early machinery. He made what is recognized and recorded as the first diagnosis before operation of a pin in the appendix, and in 1900, probably the first X-ray diagnosis in Rochester of aneurism of the aorta. He was one of the pioneer experimenters with X-ray pictures of the teeth, in this also designing his own equipment and devising technique. Andrew was co-author with Stafford L. Warren of a "Study of Distortions in Roentgenograms Taken at Various Target Film Distances" (Amer. Jour. of Roent. and Radium Ther., Oct., 1929), and with George H. O'Kane and Stafford L. Warren of "A Standardization Roentgenological Study of the Heart and Great Vessels in the Left Oblique View" (ibid., Apr., 1930).

He was a Fellow of the American College of Radiology and a member of the American Board of Radiology, New York State and Monroe County Medical Societies, Rochester Pathological Society, Rochester Academy of Medicine, Rochester Roentgen Ray Society, and Alpha Delta Phi. His religious affiliation was with the Methodist Church. Politically he was a Republican. An omnivorous reader, Andrew was also a music lover, singing and playing the flute and horn. He was interested in horticulture and was also an enthusiastic rose grower. From boyhood he always had a small workshop and he eventually became an artist in woodworking, designing and building his own tools.

He was married in Keene, Mich., June 14, 1888, to Anna Marie, daughter of Daniel Bishop Hunt of Newark, N.Y., and Keene, a mason and farmer, and he had three children: Alexander Hunt (died in infancy), Helen Hunt and Doris Elizabeth, who married Edward Mikels Ogden. He died in Rochester, N.Y., December 11, 1944.
