Frederick Andes was the proprietor of Andes Lager House; located at 371 South Pearl Street. Andes operated his saloon in the building that would eventually become Eintracht Hall. He was also an Alderman and a member of the German Evangelical Protestant Church. Andes is also buried in the Evangelical Protestant Cemetery. His Civil War tablet gravestone was broken and reset into a newly fabricated base to hold the gravestone of the former Colonel rightly upright.

to the position of commanding officer.
He is survived by his wife, two sons and
