Captain Andrew Emery of Lockport Illinois died at St. Joseph's Hospital, Joliet at 3 o'clock p.m. June 6th. 1911 Andrew Emery was born in the State of Main and when quite a young man came to Lockport Illinois, where he lived for many years. Until the war broke out he was employed as a millwright and carpenter on the Illinois and Michigan Canal. He enlisted in the army April 21st., 1861, on President Lincoln's first call for volunteers, as a private in Capt. N.L. Hawley's Lockport Artillery Company D, 4th.

The record made of Captain Pettit's valor and good service, as of the valor and good conduct of other officers and enlisted men, is not an afterthought, penned only In view of this history, but distinct record was made of the courage displayed and the ability and fidelity manifested while yet these were matters of observation."

He continued In this business for about twenty years and retired about three years ago. Mr. Pettit then removed to Round Lake, and after spending about a year there returned to this city end took up his residence on Highland Avenue.
