Andrews, French, and Virginia Avenues are connected - not only by Andrews Lane - but by the relationships between the French and Andrews families. Collins French, the son of one of Lakewood’s earliest settlers, married Rosetta Saxton in 1832. They had no children of their own, but adopted Rosetta’s niece Virginia, who had lost her mother when she was only nine months old. "Jennie" French grew up and married Edwin Andrews, who then became a partner in his father-in-law’s fruit farm which extended from Detroit Avenue to Lake Erie, between Andrews and Lakeland Avenues. Edwin and his four sons became experts in growing berries, grapes, apples, pears, and plums. The Andrews home was located next to the Masonic Temple until it was torn down to create space for retail development.
